Nice and compact machine 2 in 1. Years ago I saw some x86 "emulator" long PCI card for MAC on ebay, quite overpriced. It contained almost whole PC with some Pentium, chipset, RAM, VGA, SB...
Hypervisors/VMs are nice but doesn't much bother with SB emulation - not interesting for business apps of course (...but I just read on Vogons that new VMWare improved theirs SB emulated HW so maybe not as bad...). It would be nice to have a modern PCIE card with some legacy PC that could run it's own system and send image data over PCIE to display them in host OS window and with some kind of file sharing...

DOS gives me freedom to unlimited HW access.
