I can't remember what the Atari PC Emulator is called but I am sure I have a copy somewhere if you need one. It runs DOS 3.3 quite happily, if slowly. There were also add-in boards with 8086 and 80286 CPUs which got round the slowness at a price. Dave

Yep! Absolutely!
And I believe there is a product for the Atari ST. I also know SoftPC was a thing on NeXT. The more merrier, the weirder the merrier!

That could also include the Commodore Amiga running PC-Task. I did a lot of my WordPerfect for DOS activity on that emulation platform.

Hi Everyone,
As you know, Dean, I and a few other people are working on what we hope to be the largest exhibit in the history of VCF: The World of IBM. This is in celebration of the 40th anniversary of the IBM PC.
