If you want to run the real PC specific type stuff, you should get a PC.
The DOS 73 card is not made to place an IBM PC inside, but to allow minimal
MS-DOS capability.  The cost (more than a PC) and performance (less than
a PC) support this.  Your going to have to make a decision on what type of
machine you want a UNIX machine, or a DOS machine.  If you need both,
perhaps a 386 UNIX system with VP/IX might do the trick, but that costs
MUCH more than a 3b1 and an AT!
