Yuck! Not so much for the lowly 386, but for the monochrome monitor. I went
with VGA, though not SVGA, with my first computer in 1990, 386SX-16, 40 MB hard
drive, 3.5" and 5.25" high-density diskette drives, 1 MB RAM. VGA was so much
easier on the eyes than either Hercules monochrome or CGA.

You're really strapped with a 286, since much of the DOS software will run only
on 386 and higher.
I certainly don't see myself downgrading my current Cx486DX-2S at 66 MHz with
20 MB RAM. Giving up the integrated math coprocessor is unthinkable.
