It will run Volkswriter, but it won't run dbase II unless I add more memory. I have had no problem with it at all in running IBM pc software level 2.0 or better that is). The only reasons I would steer you away from the Columbia are 1). The perfect series software that comes with it is miserable to use. 2). They were slow to release MS-DOS v.2.0, and may have similar problems in the future. 3). Other manufacturers of IBM clones are less pricey. (It's hard to count the perfect software as a valuable part of the deal. It really sucks.
