[suggestion to buy a clone in addition to the Mac instead of a
DOS coprocessor or DOS software emulation]

The disadvantage of this setup is that you can not have DOS and
Mac process the same files simultaneously. With the AST coprocessor,
you can network the D: drive to a Macintosh folder. Obviously, this
setup will not allow you to pass executables, but Mac and DOS co-processor
have transparent access to DATA files placed in the networked folder. In
addition, everything is in one neat box, not spread across your work
area.

If your value of your time and space can justify the 
cost of the co-processor, consider the co-processor.
