In article <1274@mustang.mst6.lanl.gov>, Dave Carter writes that
SoftPC doesn't run under Ultrix 4.0, emulates only an 8088, and
supports only CGA.

I'm happy to report to the contrary that the version I have installed
on my DS3100 ("SoftPC-AT V2.11") runs under 4.0, emulates an
80286+80287 (real mode only), supports CGA, Hercules, and EGA, and
supports EMS (LIM) up to 32mb.

I'm not convinced that this is a great product, but I thought that
folks should at least have current info.
