Pardon my ignorance, but... I understand there is an IBM PC emulation
package (hardware or software) available to run on the ST.  I have an
old (TOS 1.0) 1040 ST that I'm thinking of dedicating to a PC, as I've
just bought a new 1040 STe.  I need the compatability to my and my
girlfriend's workplaces, and this could be cheaper than buying a clone.
I also get the potential of running ST stuff on that machine when I want to.

Does anyone have any experience with PC emulation on the ST?  Is it fully
compatible with the MS-DOS world, and does it work on early levels of TOS?
Any disk compatability problems (I understand early TOS would not add a
3 byte identifier to DOS disks) and/or software solutions?  Approximate
cost range, and a good place to purchase it?  Did I dream that this capability
exists?

Thanks for any and all information and suggestions.
