...and if so, would they care to go through their archives to donate a decent manual for FusionPC?
For me, Fusion was the closest approach to emulate a 68k Mac on a Windy box and FusionPC can still be useful on modern hosts with the help of DOSBox.
I found some fragments with the Waybackmachine: http://www.mediafire.com/?7aqap3b4fom1ska
But there sure must have been a manual for Fusion covering its features in detail.
I wonder if anybody has it and is willing to share?
Are Jim Drew or Joe Fenton still in business?

Does this help?

That's the most documentation that Microcode ever put online, I think.
I highly suspect that Jim Drew doesn't really care enough to release any documentation at this point, but I have an email address from circa 2003, if you'd like to try it. I can PM you.
Joe Fenton, on the other hand, is still rather active. He actually ported Basilisk II to the PSP a few years ago. I believe this is him:

He might be able to provide some documentation and whatnot.
It might be worth contacting Darek Mihocka, who of course owns Fusion now:

Just don't tell him you came from this site. He hates us.

Re: Are Jim Drew or Joe Fenton still in business?
Thanks for the pointers, ClockWise!
I was under the impession, that Fusion was licenced to Emulators Inc. rather than sold.
Anyway, you will know better. As all apps are available for free these days, its a question of marginal interest.
Who has kept and updated documentation? Emulators Inc. is not likely to have them, as there is nothing on their site.
Microcode offered a lot online. If there was a printed manual, it has not been saved as pdf maybe.
Would be cool to know how Mac serial devices had been used with FusionPC.
Further, I have no idea whether its possible to route a USB dongle´s serial port through DOSBox to Fusion on a OSX host.

Re: Are Jim Drew or Joe Fenton still in business?
I asked Jim Watters on facebook (he was the first person to buy FUSION PC!), and he said regarding the manual:
"Yes Mike. It came as a CD insert with my Fusion PC 2.0 floppy disk. Mainly 20 or so pages from the old website: http://web.archive.org/web/199904280104 ... usion.html"
And yeah, Darek owns FUSION PC completely. Not licensed or anything... he owns it. I think Microcode also sold iFUSION to Blittersoft or someone. Jim Drew got into the paintball business after that.

Did you have any luck contacting Jim, Joe or Darek?
