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.
