I think I posted a message about this Apple II emulator previously-
https://us.pycon.org/2013/schedule/presentation/134/

I attended Pycon 2013, and was especially interested in this presentation
on the Apple II emulator.
After the presentation, I spoke with the presenter (James Tauber) to ask
him if he knew about
the 6502 documentary (of which I also posted a message here, not too long
ago)

He wasn't familiar with the project but was very grateful for the heads up.

While we were talking about the 6502 & 6809, I had mentioned that my first
computer was 6809-based, James said his was too.
To clarify, I asked him "The color computer?", he said yes.

What an interesting coincidence that turned out to be.

The actual demonstration of the emulator wasn't that impressive, the
design, analysis and implementation of the 6502 code (in Python) was.
Also interesting was the fact that as he discovered bugs in the 6502
design, he realized that his emulator needed to implement
those bugs as well, in order to be compatible.
