I saw SoftPC running on a 040 NeXTStation during a NeXT seminar a few weeks ago.
It appeared to be a COMPLETE & FINISHED product.  The performance was good
(about 10Mhz AT) but the screen updates were 'funny' (part of the screen would
paint -- hesitate -- finish screen).  I don't know if this is the way SoftPC
normally works on a NeXT but I wouldn't like to use it on a regular basis.
