PC expansion board for 3b1

[Douglas R. East]

I've suddenly found out that I need to get an IBM PC or compatible in order
to run WordPerfect, Lotus, etc.  It just so happens I have a 3b1 (2M ram,
67M disk) and I know that a board is available which will allow me to
do so.  What I would like to know and would appreciate any information on,
is just how compatible this board really is and if anyone knows a source for
it (and its price, of course).  I know this information has been posted before
but, unfortunately, I tended to ignore it since I would not have guessed I
would need to get such a beast even a short time ago.

All I will be running on it are "business" type programs as mentioned above,
no games or such.  Especially, do the two programs I mentioned above
(WordPerfect and Lotus) run ok?  Is anyone out there currently running these
two programs off their 3b1?  Another question is: Can I use the hard disk
while running off the PC board?  If so, do I have to format a segment for
DOS files or are they "magically" converted to UNIX files?

Any information would be appreciated.  Thanks in advance.
