Hmm...Does the Mac OS run on PC's through an add-on card?  If so, then
Windows 3.1 will run on Amigas through a Bridgecard and I do believe that
Macs can also run DOS/Win 3.1 through a card.  I also remember the
SparcStations being able to run DOS applications a few years back, don't
know if could run Win 3.1 or anything higher though never bothered to try
it.
