It sounds like you want a Compaq.  They specialize in IBM compatibility,
but with better performance.  If you want a PC-compatible, get their DeskPro
-- which will operate at PC speed or significantly faster (changed on the
fly by Ctrl-Alt-\).  If you lean more toward an AT-type machine, get their
DeskPro 286 or Portable 286.

I have no relationship with Compaq except as a satisfied customer.
