AspeQt is a cross-platform, free and open source Atari 8-bit serial peripheral emulator. The name is an acronym for Atari serial peripheral emulator for Qt, Qt being the cross-platform application development framework used by AspeQt.

AspeQt emulates various Atari 8-bit peripherals like disk drives and printers via an SIO-2-PC cable. If you are familiar with software like Sio2Pc, APE, Atari810, AtariSIO etc., you probably won’t have any problems getting used to AspeQt.

Even though AspeQt is not fully mature yet, it is easy to use and, despite its shortcomings, has many features that you may find useful, the highlights being:

• Cross-platform GUI with drag and drop support.
• 8 emulated disk drives with support for 512 bytes per sector disk images.
• High speed operation up to 6 times faster than the normal speed.
• Ability to use PC folders as emulated disks.
• Disk image explorer for viewing and modifying disk image contents.
• Ability to run Atari executables without messing with disk images and DOSes.
• Printer emulation.
• Cassette image playback.
