The 3b1 uses a 68010 (at 10 MHz), NOT a 68020. It can, indeed, run MS-DOS,
but only if you buy a rather expensive coprocessor board which is, in
essence, an MS-DOS computer on a board.

OS/2 is a '286 operating system, not a '386 system. Comparisons between
OS/2 and a true '386 native Unix aren't really fair. But then, I suppose,
life isn't fair.
