That's true, only Win 3.0 in Real Mode was supported in 8088. I've used to run
in this mode in my old 8088 with a 8bit VGA card before upgrading to a 386. It
works SLOWWWW :). Even the calculator!. I think if you want to run some Windows
in a 8088, Windows 2.0 is a better choice. I can't remember if PageMaker (Aldus,
not Adobe yet) used to run in RealMode in Win2.0. Of course Windows 1 runs fine
(I have a copy in 5 1/4 disk somewhere here) but it's plain awful :)
