People that need to do PC emulation on Mac II and greater computers can get XT and AT functionality for only $300 with SoftPC, an all software emulator published by Insignia Systems. XT emulation alone is even cheaper. This software supports CGA and EGA graphics (not VGA, to my knowledge). The speed is not blazing, but it beats paying more than the cost of a AT clone for an emulator board! I posted a review of this product recently, and would be happy to send a copy to anyone who is interested.
