Some years ago I have tried PC-Ditto. PC tools (4.x) worked and gave
me as System Information a speed of 15% compared to an IBM PC.
My experiences with emulating DOS on Atari stopped there.

Some other sources say that a single Enter in Word 3.0 took about
5-10 seconds to be taken into account. At least Word didn't crash
the machine...

BTW, I never owned one, although it was a popular machine on our
campus. The problem was that I never heard of an Token-Ring or
Ethernet adapter for that machine...
