There are three products out there that claim to give 286/386 Dos
emulation on a Sun SPARCstation. ALthough I make NO promises on the
reliablity of the products mentioned.
1) Puzzle Board. A bug ridden (according to an ERI rep) S-bus board that
actually has an Intel chip on it.
2) Splus Software. Again bug ridden.
Both of the above can be obtained by your local ERI rep.
3) 386/486/Omni Ware by Logicraft (603) 880-0300. It is a supped up PC
that contains Intel chips. It hangs off a TCP/IP network. You open a DOS
window and you essentially access the PC. The PC (I believe) has the
software that you use. It is a soft/hardware product. It is NOT CHEAP.
Within the PC, four 4-user boards can be placed. So the initial 4 user
386/20MHz box will cost $6000 (for the modified PC) and $7200 per 4-user
board.
I will be testing the last option because they claim that even Windows 3.0
will work without bugs (Yeah, sure.) As I know more I will post.
