	Is the architecture of 486 ISA  (Not EISA) machine fit for
	Unix or is the 32 bit capability of the 486 is masked by the
	ISA architecture ?

	If I use DOS 5.0 can I do multitasking (without Windows package)
	and is the 32 bit capability of the 486 masked by DOS ?

	I would appreciate any explanation or pointers to articles concerning
	the above.

	thanks
