Ron, My solution for IBM compatibility for the 3000 was: 1) Get AMAX-II 2) Under System 6.05, run SOFT-PC with the AT/EGA Option 3) According to ReadySoft, you will obtain an (80286/80287) machine running at 16 Mhz with upto 2 mb RAM. True enough, you have to do messy things with Cross-DOS to get everything to work right ('cuz Amy doesn't have superfloppy drives yet), but the configuration works well enough. Readysoft also claims that with AMAX-II+, Amiga Floppy Drives will be directly supported as MS-DOS drives (DS/DD 720K) for SoftPC. I only had to run one PC program called NETSOLVE, a logistics network modeling program. So, that's the extent of my testing.
