I am running Mach 2.5 and 3.0 on a 486 machine (its a PS/2 model 95, which
isn't an AT bus machine). I found no problems at all in doing so (other
than a problem with the hard disk driver which was related more to the
fact it was a SCSI drive than to the processor being a 486). I would 
expect that a AT bus 486 machine should probably work just fine, all 
other things being equal.
