Summary: 3b1 DOS 73 card


We have the DOS 73 card on a PC7300 at work.  While it does work,
it is abominably slow.  The only graphics offered are simulated
Hercules monochrome.  The DOS 73 card hangs on a lot of stuff that
doen't use graphics.  The DOS 73 card is also expensive (typically
around $US 800).

If you have desk space that permits, a clone machine that includes
CPU, monitor, keyboard and IBM-compatible slots is a much better
use of the 800 bucks.

This is in contrast to the PC6300+ that offers a quite nifty
integrated DOS environment from Locus.
