I had a chance to see SoftPC run on a MacII.  This SOFTWARE (no card) emulates
an IBM PC-XT.  This is a wonderful piece of software.  The program even makes
the sounds of a PC starting up.  We ran a variety of software.  From color
games to PC comm programs.  It runs DOS 3.3. The Mac II runs it with full
color.  At one point we had a Mac II acting like a PC, running the program
readmac.com reading Macpaint files.  This thing is supposed to be able to
run Flight Sim.  I think it is sharp that the Mac can now run IBM software,
while running Mac software!
