I have recently come upon an advertising for SoftPC v1.3.  The package
claims to be able to run MS-DOS based application on the Mac with NO
hardware modifications...assuming you have a Mac II/IIx with at least
2MB memory and 3MB disk space.  It makes a statememt that it perfectly
duplicates the IBM PC/XT.  I was wondering if the claim really holds or
if there is some loop holes.  Also I am not famialiar with the IBM
products but use their software...is the XT a good computer?
