Get this!  MacWeek (or was it Mac Today, or was it.... anyway) had a little
blurb on "Soft PC" the IBM PC emulation software that reportedly is compatible
down to the chip level.  "This is it!" I say to myself.  A nice cheap solution
to the IBM compatibility question, and it can even be easily updated.  Then
comes the kicker--it will run under A/UX!!! Good grief!  Instead of paying
$1500 for AST's 80286 board you pay $4000 or so for A/UX so you can run
MS-DOS stuff on (not that you really want to--but some people just won't
switch).  Does anyone know if a more sensible company is working on a software
IBM PC emulator that runs under the regular Mac system?
