[osu.mac] IBM PC on a card for the MacII?

czei@neutron.eng.ohio-state.edu (Michael S. Czeiszperger) (11/29/88)

I'm looking for advice on buying an IBM PC card for the MacII.  There
is an IBM program that I'd like to port to the MacII, but it only works
in tandem with a custom IBM card.  My options are 1. to use a PC on
a board to run the software, and then transfer the data to the mac cpu,
or 2. find a PC bus adapter for the MacII.  If anyone knows of a PC
bus adapter or an IBM-on-a-card with a PC bus, PLEASE let me know.

Thanks for any help,

(Why don't Mac manufacturers read this board?  It would really be 
an huge help to get responses direct from the manufacturers)

You are out of luck.  There is no PC-bus to Nu-Bus converter, in fact
the mere idea makes my skin crawl.  Your best options is to run the
program on an AT and transfer the data to your Mac.  There are IBM-AT
co-processor boards, but I would rather just run soft-pc.
