In the past 2 issues of MIPS magazine (April/May) there is an
advertisement for
	"... new SP-ARC1, a single coprocessor that brings the power
	of SPARC processing to any IBM compatible PC. That means 15
	MIPS performance at 25 Mhz, 8 MB RAM, and SPARC code on your
	PC."

"MIPS" also supposedly reviewed it in March or February. Got a back
issue?

Anyone tried it? The ad mentions that Sun-4's use SPARC technology,
but it doesn't say that this board, etc. is licensed from Sun, or
anything to that effect.  What would this thing be able to run? 
Really quick DOS :-) ? I believe it plugs into an AT bus.
