There are also an increasing number of emulators available in the
CURRENT ports collection. These include C/PM, DOS and Apple IIGS -
with Atari 800 and Atari 2600 on the way - to name a few. I'll bet
there is at least one OS that you don't have a copy of in there
somewhere. :-) 

Check out the software section of the website mentioned above.
