I'm a little less aware here, as I have never run Wabi, but IIRC Wabi was an 
entirely software-based emulator.  SunPC is a software solution, but it 
either stands alone providing x86 emulation for DOS, etc, or if present, it 
will use the SunPC card to do x86 operations in hardware as opposed to 
software.  It creates a "Virtual" PeeCee, right down to emulated hard disks 
stored in files within a Unix File System.  the last version I have will run 
Win95, supports Hard Disks of up to 128Megs (512Meg if patched up to the 
latest Sun Patches) and runs on Solaris 2.6.

Windows 95 was still pretty slow on it, even with a 5x86-133 running on an 
Ultra 1/200E with 256Megs RAM.
