Win 3.0 was the last to run on a 8088/8086. NT 4.0 still supported the Alpha CPU, and I'm sure I read about NT 4 running on an early CHRP board as well as some version of Mac OS (though that wasn't supposed to). ===== http://www.junkscience.com "All the Junk that's fit to Debunk!" __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
