= Summary =

AspeQt emulates Atari SIO peripherals when connected to an Atari 8-bit computer with an SIO2PC cable. In that, respect it's similar to programs like APE and Atari810. The main difference is that it's free (unlike APE) and it's cross-platform (unlike Atari810 and APE).

Some features:

* Qt based GUI with drag and drop support.
* Cross-platform (currently Windows and x86-Linux, but it should be very easy to port it to MacOsX)
* 8 disk drive emulation
* Folders can be mounted as simulated Dos20s disks. (read-only, at least for now)
* Atari executables can be booted directly.
* Contents of image files can be viewed / changed
* Support for APE time downloader.
* 1x, 2x, and 3x SIO speed.
