MagiC PC is an emulator of the Atari ST/TT computer line running the MagiC multitasking TOS-compatible operation system, allowing Atari users to run their software on top of Microsoft Windows.

It support besides the traditional screen resolutions of 640x400 in monochrome mode, 640x200 in 4-color mode und 320x200 in 16-color mode, arbitrarily chosen b/w and color resolutions up to 16 colors.

• Printing using the Centronics and RS-232 interface of the PC is supported.
• use of online and terminal programs through the serial interface of the PC is suported (including over a connected modem).
