Maybe I'm missing just what you're after, but it sounds like you're after
a product that's been out for about two years now, AST's Mac 286 card.
(This stuff was just recently bought by some company from AST, I don't
remember who, though...) The card is essentially a 286 on a NuBus card.

I'm not sure just how advanced the card got, but software from Insignia
called SoftPC allows you to run almost ANY PC software on the Mac, even in
a MultiFinder window. The latest version of this can read directly from the
SuperDrive.

These are the two products I'd suggest you look into.
