After downloading and reading the technical notes on the Intel Inboard
386/PC, I discovered that Intel has tested Desqview/386 on the Intel Inboard
386/PC has found it COMPATIBLE with the Intel Inboard 386/PC. Intel
and Microsoft do not plan to release either Windows 3.0 or OS/2 for the
Intel 386/PC, although Intel says that the Intel 386/PC does have hardware
support for OS/2 (whatever that means!?!). Intel also advises against 
using IBM DOS 4.0 with the Intel Inboard 386/PC because they say
that IBM did NOT adhere to Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification
4.0 . They recommend the use of Microsoft DOS 4.01.
