Um...just checking...Sun 386i?  SparcStation w/SoftPC (I've seen this work,
and even run MS-Windows 3.0)?  Anyone?  Anyone?

And does anyone know anything about Quarterdeck's DesqView/X?  Seems like it'd
be a real boon to folks like Mr. Daukas -- mix and match OS's, processors, 
etc, under X, with windows for all.
