Technical support is correct. Trying to run Windows 3.0 on an XT is like
trying to tow a 20 foot trailer loaded with cement with a 250CC
motorcycle. You do not get very far or go very fast. You are asking for
a miracle if you want to run Windows 3.0 on an XT machine. The fact that
Windows 3.0 can run on 286 machines is itself a miracle. You only get
one miracle in this business.
