I believe I saw something called PC Tools which allowed a Mac <even a mac
plus!> to emulate an MS-Dos computer and run such software. I dont know if
it emulated a 286/386/086 or whatever machine but it would mostlikely have
been an XT emulation. Oddly enough, I saw this program and heard about it when
I was looking at an A2000 running Amax ][. Nice paradox, 'eh?
