Sounds like you are a good candidate for the new Quadra 610 DOS Compatible
configuration, which recently won a "Best System" award from Byte magazine.
It simultaneously runs Windows/DOS and Mac software. I think it would
be somewhere in the vicinity of $2K for a "normal" configuration, but
don't quote me.
You might also be able to add the card containing a 25-MHz Intel 486SX to
a normal Quadra 610, but not advised for other Macs (projected to be < $500).
Only problem is I don't think it is out quite yet.
