The first question I have been meaning to ask, is; Is there no version of
windows 3.0 OR windows_386 X.Y (3.0 ?) for the inboard 386 or won't there be
a version for the inboard386 with only the 1 MB on board ram ?
2. Desqview/386 has been compatible probably forever.  Every inboard I ever
got came with a discount card for it (as well as windows 386).
3. Does this mean there won't be ANY bew verisons of windows 386 ?
4. Who ever in their right mind ever recommended using 4.0 anyway. 4.01 was
available just about days later & incorporated lots of bug fixes.
