Has anyone really had any experiance with that Soft PC?  I saw it run on the
new 40mhz Mac II last weekend and it pulled a norton SI rating of about 8 or
10 mhz, which is about your average "turbo" XT.  While this sounds nice, I 
can't imagine what it would be like on my 16mhz Mac II.  The dealer guessed
about 1mhz.  For $400 you could probably find yourself a decent used clone,
and for a hundred or so extra, an AT at that!

Having never really tried it though, I can't speak for sure.  Has anyone
really investigated it's ability?

How about the software that allows your to run Apple II software on the Mac?
Does it really allow all that much software to work on the Mac II?
