One of the advantages of the card (which was not on the previous version) is that it can handle Macintosh floppies that use a GCR coding, which explains the name of the card. Emulate is not the right word since the Atari and the Macintosh used the same type of processors (68000) at that time, but the idea is there: we will start the Macintosh operating system on an Atari.įor legal (and practical) reasons, a Macintosh ROM has to be inserted in the Spectre GCR card.

The Spectre GCR is an expansion card for Atari computers which – coupled with a dedicated software – emulates a Macintosh Plus. Did you know that not-so-long ago, it was possible to turn an Atari ST into a Macintosh? With the help of a fellow fan of Atari (Brume on the Atari-Forum), we restarted a Spectre GCR.
