I'm looking for information on existing schemes for running MS-DOS
software on Macintosh computers particularly the Macintosh II.  I have
heard of various hardware and software solutions and I would like to
hear from people who are using these products.  I am specifically
interested in: cost, speed, CGA/EGA emulation, and general robustness
of the product.  I am someone who wants the Mac II that may soon
arrive on my desk, but has to provide support for an existing base of
MS-DOS software, so the ability to run OS/2 (OS|2?) is not that
important right now.  Please send your responses by e-mail and I will
summarize to the net if there is sufficient interest.

Thanks

James Talley
