NOT TRUE .. I have posted this before but it seems no one listens..
I have a GATEWAY 20mhz 386 machine purchased last October.  I RUN WINDOWS
386 EVERY DAY.  The only problem I had was with the AWARD BIOS.  In this 
machine it would not work with windows 386 but ...GATEWAY replaced the 
award bios with a phoneix bios (at not charge) and the machine has worked 
like a champ ever since.  This is with windows 386 version 2.03.
I do not know what gateway is currently using for a 20mhz 386 board or if 
this box will work with windows 2.1 (i will soon though) but IT WORKS FINE
IN THE CURRENT SET UP.
