It has the AT bus, which accepts a 386 card for DOS, and a high speed bus for the sparc's memory and video. DOS output is redirected to the main video memory (using if I remember correctly, a shared memory) and runs SunOS (licsenced). It is fairly cheap (starting prices ~$4999). The info is from the Sun Systems journal (or something like that). Vassilios E. Axaris
