The Apple III was backwards compatible with the Apple //.

Copland and Taligent never shipped to developers or users so neither wasted time on it.

I had an Apple //e card. Using the included software, you could setup a ProDOS partition on your hard drive, and copy files from the //e to the Mac. Apple bundled converters that you could use to convert AppleWorks documents to Mac app documents.

Mac86 sucked but the DOS Compatibility Card for the PowerMac 6100/60 with a 486DX/2, a dedicated sound card, and the capability of adding 32MB of dedicated RAM was quite good until Windows 95 came out and it could only use 16 bit drivers. That was my second Mac.
