Hi bill,

Correct me if I am wrong, but if you use the mac68k ports of OpenBSD or
NetBSD, you can compile in SunOS support.  

Mac IIci's, etc. are cheap.  You may even be able to use 68040-based Macs,
which would run at faster than natice speeds for character mode apps, I
think. 

And you would be running a "real" OS on Mac hardware :-) .
