I am not sure, Greg. The thing is actually very new, priced nearly $600. They use a kind of DOS and Windows interface instead of trying to emulate the chip. That is the reason what they are getting (or claim to get) 486 performance. Regarding WABI, I don't know if there is any actual product based on Sun's WABI. They claim that they will put it in the next version of Solaris, but you won't be able to run 32bit Windows (4.0/NT). Seems like Insignia have the key to Windows programs… just because they have Microsoft behind them. Probably the same technology to be used on next NT upgrades (MIPS, Alpha, whatever-they-put-it-in 🙂
