Glad you started with the "As far as I know" part... Sun announced
several months ago their intention to bring out 80x86 based systems.
The obvious business reason is to provide "one-stop shopping" for the
people who need MS-DOS applications for some users, and don't need 
UNIX, or the price tags of even the 3/50 and 3/60 systems.  Nobody
says they're choosing this as a _technically desirable_ solution, 
merely a practical one.  But they _are_ doing it.
