Lisa,

I'm looking forward to this (and would be interested in the interim stages, too, offlist or on) as I
teeter on the brink of supplementing my W2K Thinkpad with a Mac.  (I'm stuck in/on Xy3+ for now,
but assume that what works for 4 in this context will likely be good for 3+)

I looked at the parallels forum link you listed

>http://forum.parallels.com/archive/index.php/t-3348.html

and agree that a lot of the posts seem either worthless or like gibberish. Persisting, I found at
post #8 a referral to allbootdisks.com. promising bootable versions of DOS that work as is with
parallels, so maybe that is worth trying -- it seems fairly clear and not to have too many steps

In any case, the allbootdisks site looks interesting as a source of downloads for everything from
early DOS versions (4.x) through XP, and thus potentially useful for folks on this list even if they
have no Mac desires, though perhaps other such sources are already known.
