Depending on how badly one needs the code...

The company "Insignia Solutions" makes an IBM-PC emulator that runs on
many SPARC, MIPS, etc. workstations.  They might have a version running
on the '386, for all I know.  They're in San Jose area, or write me and
I'll send out the address and 'fone number.

Ob whatever:

The Insignia solutions simulator is purely software.  There is a rumor
that currently the absolutely fastest PC clone that you can buy is an
HP `Snake' running Insignia's emulator.  Faster than any '486 box!

Think about it: using a '386, which has an 80286 compatability mode,
but ignoring the compatability mode and instead running a simulator.
Sick, sick, sick.  I love it!
