You might ask said salesperson why, if they will run on a 386SX without
problem, they do not list a single 386SX-based machine on their current
compatibility list ("Configuration Guide") -- not even the Compaq or
the IBM (PS/2 Model 55Z or whatever).  I just got the list from them
last week; it's dated June 1989.
