I don't have a 286 and so I didn't get a copy of Bruce's protected
mode kernel.  With the announcement that V2.0 will be based on
Bruce's work, I had a question that was not answered by the
announcement.  What does this move mean to those of us without a
286?  Will the same code run on both 8088s and 80286s?
