Interesting, thanks
I was aware of MAME but not the separate history of MESS or that it included any classic mac emulation. I know first hand that nether Basillisk2 nor minivmac emulate ADB properly, and therefore various software that requires low level ADB access does not run. The article specifically mentions ADB so this could fill quite a gap, all thanks to the low level approach that is so important to emulating the quirks of this era of machines.
