To be able to use the SunPC card you need the SunPC software - version
3.5 for SunOS 4.1.x and 4.0-4.2 for SunOS 5.x. You will be able to
run MS-DOG, Windoze 3.1 or even 95 in a X-window on your Sun desktop.

The cards are pretty plentiful (usually some on eBay, often one on
ebay.co.uk). Getting the software is the trick....
