>internet performance. Otherwise, OS 6.0.8 will blow the doors off the PC. >Is Win95 optimal for the 386? It is a full 32-bit machine, so I guess yes >(else, linux would scream, but it's not a mainstream OS, especially during >the early '90's). Win95 isn't what I'd call "optimal" on a 386. Early 90s, DOS (DR-DOS, if you can find it) and Windows 3.1, yes. (Or better yet, if you don't mind 93-94 as your timeframe, OS/2 2.1. Much more stable, and I recall many of my then-fellow OS/2'ers saying they preferred it over a 486 with 3.1.) -Eric -- Vintage Macs is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
