- More like 99.4% (Which is as good as gold....)
-
- I ran into an incompatibility problem. I have a BASIC program that is used
- to program a commercial microprocessor-based moble transceiver. I had to
- borrow my friends DOS laptop to program the thing, since SoftPC wouldn't
- run it correctly.
-
- I tried SoftPC (Entry level) on a SE and PB 100, as well as SoftAT on a IIsi.
- No go.

- I agree. The emulation is solid. Slow, but solid.
