This might be a stupid question, but why bother? You can go to Radio Shack and buy a DOS machine for $299 and not have to worry about all of the problems you might other wise run into trying to make one screwball machine pretend to be another screwball computer, not to mention the possible speed differences and the problem of keeping all of the pieces running on compatible versions of software. I'm sure that any software or board solution is going to cost more than the corresponding PC hardware. There are pleanty of low cost DOS compatible machines that are reliable. I must have missed something here... 8-) -john- -- =============================================================================== John A.
