Before investing in microport's full 386 system, I have a few questions
if anyone cares to answer:

1)  Can the 386 system compile for a 286 machine (Large model)?
    If not, since I need the system for product development,
    can V/AT and V/386 reside on the same machine?

2)  Does the 386 system implement shared text?

3)  I have a 386, with an XT class hard drive for MS-DOS.  I want
    to add a large AT class drive for Unix.  Can I leave the old
    disk in place for running MS-DOS?  Can I boot dos from one
    and unix from the other?  Can I even boot dos or do you
    have to use dosmerge?

4)  Does the 386 system page? Or just swap...


Danke...
