Actually, Virtual PC by Connectix runs at about $150.  The only problem 
is it's very slow.  Another good emulator is SoftWindows.  I forget who 
it's made by, but it runs a little faster.  If you're looking for an 
actual PCI card then there's the OrangePC card.  You can put up to 256 MB 
of PC RAM into it and it comes in speed of up to 200 MHz.  The only 
problem is the cost.  If you have a slot for a DOS card then Apple sells 
their DOS cards for around $600.  I think I saw a used one for sale for 
about $100 at www.classmac.com.
