There were some "mac/os running on sun/os" projects inside apple at one
point.  At least on paper.  I'm not sure if they got very far code wise,
however.

As I recall (dimly) this was in the 68k mac era.  I don't remember
exactly when - i just remember it was during the time when I was on a
first name basis with all of the TWA Boston<->SF crews :-)
