Interesting i doubt this. I had a pcjr with 640k & hard disk. When i tried to run 3.3 it would work for a while and then lock up. Tried the install twice over 6 mos and still no bannana. Back to 3.1 and worked like a champ. The jr was not that bad of a machine i had mine for several yrs. And yes its supprising how much software it would run. I used microsoft c without any problems even the debuger. 73, ted n6trf
