Sure are, the '386 has a virtual '286 mode. You can run '286 software with
all of the penalties and none of the benefits. I tried to explain that to
another frequent contributor to this group and he said (effectively) NO!
it's a dog on a '386 too! Sure, you can save $500 on the software for the
board you spent $1000 for; that software will run like it would've on a $300
board. Take your pick.
