Semi-OT: Interesting or unusual PC Compatibles?

The 110 and 150 would run DOS programs but not (most) PC-compatible DOS programs, especially those that dealt directly with hardware. IIRC, there were more limitations and/or incompatibilities with the 110 than with the 150. There was a IBMPC emulator (or was it called something else--can't recall but I have it somewhere) for the 150. Worked best with the full 640K installed. Mostly hooked BIOS and PC-specific DOS calls, translated the character set and faked some hardware a bit. Did not work with programs that talked directly to hardware. == jd "The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a bit longer." -- Henry Kissinger
