I've had them running on a 10mhz turbo 8088 Xt clone before. the onlyy
reason I can see for a 386 is newer drives where the software isn't
written to suopport less than a 386. We have 3 different 12 mhz AT 286's
at work that have 2x cdroms in them for order taking and the cdrom is for
the actual program data. it reads from the cdrom about 3 times an hour.
i've had customers with IBM PS/2 model 30's with SCSI external cdroms, and
they are 8086 machines.
