MacSD is a hard drive and CD-ROM drive emulator designed for classic Macs, but also works in PCs.

Play classic games like Alone in the Dark 2, Descent, Warcraft, Virtual Pool and more with the high-quality CD audio soundtrack.

Easily cycle through CD images by dragging them to the trash - no reconfiguring required!

Use MacSD's sample-based General MIDI synthesizer with Macs over SCSI or with PCs through the MPU-401/game port.

Mount multiple floppy/MiniVMac/partition images simultaneously under a single SCSI ID using the new composite device feature.

Use the MacSD Commander application to copy files from the SD card to your Mac. No need for networking or emulators.

Add active PWM fan control to your vintage system.
