Since a fair number of people might want to know...
From what I remember in reading the Fall catalog, it mentioned that
it could emulate a 80287 math coprocessor. From that I gather that
it will run as a 80286 machine without any problems. The catalog
also mentioned that the NeXT's hardware (ie. printers, modems, etc..)
would also be usuable by the emulator. I would guess that there as
some drawbacks (speed, for one) that either I missed, forgot, or
just wasn't mentioned. Looks like a good product, though.
