- Actually, Windows 3.1 does work with a 286, but only in Standard mode
- (they got rid of real mode btw). I have an AT right here that I was trying
- to install Norton Desktop for Windows on. BTW, NDW does NOT work on Win3.1
- on a 286 :/. It crashes and leaves you on a desktop with NO tasks running -
- you can't quit from Windows because there is no program manager to quit
- from - but the task lister still works. :)
