I know...I know...why would anyone want to sully themselves and have DOS softwa
re running on something as fine as a UNIX-based workstation, but such realities
 are sometimes necessary (like when you have $1000-2000 incvested in DOS softwa
re, you don't simply throw it away, hoping you can afford the UNIX equivalent).

So, what are the solutions for SGI hardware? I know SoftPC exists, but I've
never been overly thrilled with its performance. On a SPARC station, I can
actually buy a PC-on-a-board, and through it into one of the SBus slots. Is
there an equivalent for SGI equipment? I'm considering purchasing an Indigo,
but would be more inclined if there was a robust way to let me run my DOS
software also.

Any suggestions/comments welcomed.
