Yes, if you purchase the PC Simulator product. This product gives you an
emulator that is based on the AT (80286 processor)

See above, runs PC-DOS 3.3
>What kind of performance can be expected?
Depends on what the application is. If its a heavy duty number cruncher, then
the performance has been quoted at a 16Mhz 80386 (read in one of the trade
magazines). If your application is VGA, then the performance is along the
lines of a 12Mhz 80286. The difference is that all the display hardware that
you get when you buy a VGA card is being emulated in software.

Little if any. Just install the Simulator product and follow the instructions
as to how to configure it, and you're off...
