AspeQt, Atari Serial Peripheral Emulator for Qt

Summary
=======
AspeQt emulates Atari SIO peripherals when connected to an Atari 8-bit computer with an SIO2PC cable.
In that respect it's similar to programs like APE and Atari810. The main difference is that it's free
(unlike APE) and it's cross-platform (unlike Atari810 and APE).

Some features
=============
* Qt based GUI with drag and drop support.
* Cross-platform (currently Windows and x86-Linux)
* 8 disk drive emulation
* Text-only printer emulation with saving and printing of the output
* Cassette image playback
* Folders can be mounted as simulated Dos20s disks. (read-only)
* Atari executables can be booted directly, optionally with high speed.
* Contents of image files can be viewed / changed
* AspeQt Client module (ASPECL.COM). Runs on the Atari and is used to get/set Date/Time on the Atari,
  more functionality will be added in future releases
* Support for APE time downloader (deprecated as of March 26, 2012, use ASPECL.COM instead)
* Upto 6x SIO speed and more if the serial port adaptor supports it.
* Localization support
* Multi-session support
