I have some real olde version called Soft AT, but it's _real old_. So old it only supports having the base 640K plus the 384K upper memory area and up to 11 megabytes of EMS expanded memory. You expand the amount of EMS by upping the Memory setting in the Get Info dialog. Therefore, the latest version of Windows it can run is 3.0 even though it does emulate a 80286 CPU. Another gotcha is that if the Mac it's running on is in any way connected to the internet, it will likely "reach out" and find someone else running the same thing downloaded from the same place I got it. Then it will say something about "Too many users" and warn you it will shut down soon. Apparently there are a lot of people dinking around with this old SofTAT version and all of them "found" it at the same place. There is absolutely no info or updates for it at the websites of any company that owns or did own the SoftPC/SoftAT product. ===== "When you are wrestling for possession of a sword, the man with the handle always wins."
