Is there a functional MS-DOS board designed for the SE. By functional,
I mean one that runs 100% (or close to it) of PC-DOS software. Is there
one that supports large screens like the radius. What graphics modes
are supported? Are they worth it? What about the same thing for the
Mac II?

Dos on the Mac or Mac II.
1) if you have a mac plus get a 68020 board
2) if you have an SE get a 68020 board
3) Buy SoftPC, which emulates the PC hardware in software (just needs a 68020)
for $600.00 -- available in March.
4) XT speed, CGA emualation at this time, runs vanilla MS DOS <- Yup, acts
as a 1 meg PC (so I think you need another meg), Stores files on your
standard mac hard drive, dont need a separate HD like say Aux and you can
store and run DOS binaries on your mac drives or run them remotely, albeit
slowly over TOPS from other machines!
nuff said!
Saw it running at the expo...slick stuff!
