used to do in my PowerMac 6100/66 a long time ago with the PC card I bought
for it. I just want to play those old DOS games that were never ported to
the mac and can't be played on PC these days. With such advanced
technology these days I don't understand how anyone has not written DOS for
Mac. Or a program into which it can be installed, I have an old DOS 6 disk.
I hope you know what I mean. I dont care if I have to run it through OS
9. Also I wouldn't mind installing a PC PCI card on my G3. Please
recommend something that wont cost a fortune. THANKS THANKS THANKS!!!!!!!!!

"complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices,
and memory"
Slow, but probably good enough for old DOS apps.
Also look at: http://www.macwindows.com/emulator.html
But when I took a close look at the offerings, I decided I was not that much of a geek.
