you can run bochs or plex86.  i ran win95 on my sparc20 at work when i was at
Mack Trucks, and it was extremely painful in the slowness area, but quite
stable.  should be able to install and run any x86 os that you'd like (i even
started to install linux at one point, but gave up after getting a new huge
project that consumed all my time)
