Concerning this whole debate about MS-DOS compatibility on GS and Mac LCs:  
Let's get real!

This is not a contest to run the fastest MS-DOS stuff on your machine, but 
merely an argument to prove compatibility.  The point here is that SoftPC can 
be bought at less than $300, so can a PC-Transporter.  Both provide MS-DOS 
compatibility to the machine running them.  The difference is that SoftPC is 
upgradeable (lately the EGA compatibility was added) while PC-T is not.  

Also, if you are looking for a fast PC, buy a PC.  We don't need the emulators 
so we can buy a Mac/GS and then use them for PC stuff.  The only reason I see a
limited use of Emulators is to provide the ability to edit a file, or import 
data.

That is about it, thus the argument about emulators is pretty much moot iun bmy
book..
