MSDOS & Windows Emulation on SPARCstations

2007-12-25 7:56:00

Last week I asked:

>Hi... I would like to know which emulators (hardware and software) for

>MS-DOS and Windows exist for Sun workstations (to be a little more precise,

>IPC, IPX and 600 series). If possible, these should run under Motif...

I received answers from

bogart@bpb.it (Massimo Lanfranconi)

apunix!susan@UCSD.EDU (susan tornroth)

Basically, the suggestion were two:

------

there is a product called Synergy 386 (maybe 486 now) that is made

by Puzzle Systems Corp, 17485 Monterey Rd, Suite 202, Morgan Hill,

CA 95037 USA. 1 408 779 9909.

This is a DOS Coprocessor S-Bus board. It contains an Intel 386 or

486 CPU and a math coprocessor socket. It has a VGA chipset and

should run DOS 5.0, Windows and any other DOS app. I trialed it

several years ago when it first came out, back then it was pretty

expensive and only ran under Open Windows and SunView. They may run

under Motif now,

------

Sun has a product SunPC which emulates a PC and runs on MS DOS.

The version 3.0 of the S/W runs on OpenWindows 3.0 and under

SunOS 4.1.1.

SunPC 3.0 software provides the capabilities and power of a PC

equipped with an Intel 80286 processor with VGA graphics.

The SunPC hardware is a an actual SBUS card with a 486 chip on it

This allows the double DOS Window.

[ more infos about it can be found on SunFLASH Vol 41 #23 - if someone's

interested, call me]
