Have you tried SoftPC?  This is a totally software emulation of a XT
that runs about as fast as an XT.

It is VERY compatible, I have run windows under it as well
as MS Flight Sim 3!

Basically gives you a CGA XT.  

Its speed does make it a little Clunky, but hey what do you expect.

It is also pretty resonable price wise (few hundred dollars)

Hope this helps
