I have a question that's a bit dated indeed, but I've been looking into PC emulation with the Mac286. I just need a couple quick bits of information. 1) Since it's a board with an actual 80286 I assume the compatibility with PC programs is 99.9%. I just want to confirm this. 2) Can it run VGA style graphics (Am I correct that VGA is the highest resolution, followed by EGA and monochrome CGA? I can never keep them straight.) I was just wondering if there was some sort of incompatibility between the apple monitor or whatever. I'm not much of a tech type, I just want to know that PC programs with intensive graphics can also run ok. 3) Can my Mac 3 1/2" drive read/write IBM 3 1/2" disks with this card or do I need to buy an additional drive. (I have a Mac II (no x) bought October a year ago.) Guess that's it for now. Thanks for any info you can offer. Martin (jg108@umd5.umd.edu)
