We are considering purchasing two Mac IIs. We would like
one of these to be capable of running AT-compatible software.
However, we have a concern that such a system may not be
able to deliver the same performance as, say, a 10Mh AT
compatible.
The one product we have heard about is called Mac286,
a Mac II coprocessor board.
I'd like to hear from any Mac II owners/users who have
experience with the Mac286 (or other products).
- How is the performance? Slower than what one would
expect from a MS-DOS based system (e.g. a 10Mh 286-
based machine)?
- Does such a coprocessor mandate added memory for
best results? (and how much?)
- Does it require a 5.25" drive?
- Are there certain kinds of software that run more
poorly than others?
Please send me email, since I do not read this newsgroup
regularly, and thanks!
