Without even trying this kind of things I would expect that Smalltalk V/286
will not work if the system is already in protected mode. Perhaps if you
run Win3.0 in real mode that could work. I have not tried it. I don't
have the 3 or 4 MBytes needed for Win 3.0 and no 386 or 486 yet.

We had similar experiences with the older WIN386 and the 386Max program.
WIN386 would not start because the 386 was already in protected mode.

BTW You start WIN3.0 in real mode with the option /r.

Hope this helps you running WIN3.0 in real mode and ST/V.

Regards,

Norbert.
