Digital Equipment Corp has turned to Insignia Solutions Ltd for an iAPX-86 emulator for the Alpha AXP RISC family. DEC has signed Insignia to do a version of SoftWindows for the Alpha so that its users can run MS-DOS and Windows applications. It is claiming the same level of personal applications performance as users get on 80486 machines. MS-DOS 6.0 and Windows 3.1 are built in. It is being marketed by both companies, and will be ready for DEC Unix systems in mid-summer, OpenVMS by autumn.
