PC-Ditto I is a software emulation of an IBM PC. I use it on a 1040.
Whether or not it is"unbearably" slow depends on the application. If the
application is compute intensive (such as graphic printing calculations)
it is extremely slow.  However, I use Quicken 4.0 regularly and the
speed is a little slow but perfectly acceptable.  I have even run
SuperProject Expert and Advanced Project Workbench.  These are slow and
if one were to use them frequently, it would drive one nuts.  However,
for the quick odd update, it is fine.
