I saw your article in c.s.i.p, I didn't reply because your request was
simply too general.  First what is typical of the machine that your new
employer uses:  PC (8088/86), AT (286), 386?  Do these machines have
hard disks?  Is there any specific vendor?  This last may be the most
important.  What software will you have to run (if not specific
applications, at least a general idea)?  You mention wanting to
"connect to my MAC" what do you mean by this?  For seamless
integration of MS-DOS and Macintosh you can use Soft PC, this product
emulates (albeit slowly) an MS-DOS machine.  A faster alternative
would one of the compatiblility cards or a 680{2,3}0 accelerator card to
increase emulation speed.  On the other hand these solutions are
expensive;  if you need just a simple machine with floppies the cost
could be less than $800.  

ps My mail to you bounced perhaps the same happened to the others.
