Does this mean that it can run under the Roger Wanger's switcher thingie?
That would be interesting, although you really want to be able to run
both Machines 'simulteously' (if PCT interrupts Apple for each operation, then
this might be possible.  My PCPI CP/M card has this capability, so if I
wanted to hack some 6502 ASM, I could run CP/M on the 80col card, and Apple 
stuff in the 'other' 64k bank.)

Maybe when 640x400 comes along, you can run monochrome-text-only PC programs
on the 'top half' of your GS screen.  Is anyone else making coprocessor 
platforms these days?  There used to be a Dimension system with three 
processors in it, and I believe it could run some IBM PC, Apple, and 68000
software (CPM-68k?)

These days you could just put boards in a PClone, I suppose.

Suspect the Amiga 2000 comes closest to this (AmigaDOS & MS-DOS, & maybe one
of the Apple plug-in boards will work), although an Atari ST can run Mac
& PC software with varying degrees of success (then you could buy 2-in-a-Mac
as well.)
