- Subject: Re: Soft_PC. How compatible is it?
- Lines: 17

- It's also worthy of notice that the graphics support of the various packages:
-
- SoftPC (both versions) - CGA -- $125 or so for entry -- $200 for regular
- (emulates an 8086 xt)
- SoftAT - EGA/CGA -- $300 (286 AT)
- SoftPC Windows - VGA/EGA/CGA -- $400
- (dont know processor)
-
- SoftPC Windows can run windows and most vga games. But OTOH, it's so slow that
- Quadras are recommended for good performance, and at $400 (and up), we're
- edging awfully close to cheap VGA machines anyway.
