Has anyone had experience with Insignia's SoftPC?  I imagine it must
run fairly slowly; i.e., somewhere on the order of the original 8086
PC.  Then again, presumably the speed would depend on the machine
doing the emulation -- for example, it should run faster on an SE/30
than on an SE.  Is this true?

Curious,
