   I am wondering if MACH is a good option to run with for a system that 
currently has a large base of software already written, say for example,
a MAC II or a SUN 3. If you install MACH on a Sun 3, do you lose all of
the software that requires SUNOS, or can you somehow layer SUNOS on top
of MACH? If you do lose all of the software, could someone who has switched
to using MACH explain their motivation to me? Why was it a good choice for
you?
