This was only a 2.4 thing, why would you want to run this, it wouldnt
support any new windows applications.

If I recall right, the last Wabi did run on 2.5.1 and 2.6 atleast.

The WABI manual on docs.sun.com doesn't appear to mention supported OS
versions, but it *does* mention it is partially (no sound) supported on
Solaris for PowerPC. That'd be interesting to see - I didn't even know
that was publically available.

Cheers,

Sun produced it for IBM, and didn't sell it directly.
It was sold through IBM and Bull.

It wasn't a success (for IBM and Bull) because the then
x86 PCs were faster and very much cheaper than any PowerPC
system, so there really wasn't any good reason to run Solaris
on PowerPC. It would not have worked on the Apple PowerPC
systems as they were not PReP compliant.

Oh that rings a bell, though I recall the MkLinux folks managed to jump
through enough hoops to make their stuff boot on Macs as well as CHRP
boxes.
