Re: netbooks--1 GB Ram and XP-Why?

You used on an Intel MDS development system with an 8086 CPU.

OR ...

You used it on a CompuPro (Godbout) system with either an 8086 CPU or
with the CompuPro 85/88 CPU card (which was extremely popular at the time).

OR ...

You used it in an S-100 system with the SCP 8086 board set (available as
individual S-100 cards or sold as a complete system called the "Gazelle")

I have version 1.0, but I do think that it's still labeled 86-DOS; I
think that the first version labeled as MS-DOS was 1.25 (this is from
memory, I'd have to hunt up the diskettes to be sure).
