SoftPC/AT is too SLOW!  I don't think it is reasonable for use with IBM 
software.  There is a product called RunPC which is out, I don't know who 
makes it or how much better it is, though I've heard it's a little faster.  
SoftPC in my opinion is too slow, but is most other respects (compatability, 
etc) it seems to work fine.
