Actually, IIRC the SunPC software alone will emulate a 286 or 386, it does
all the emulation in software. If it detects the SunPC card, it will use it
to deliver full 486 functions. I seem to remember that with hardware
acceleration, you can have up to 4 SunPC windows (sessions) running
simultaneously on the same machine... (although only one of them will get the
full benefit of the Hardware acceleration at a time.)
