Have you tried a really old version of SlackWare from around
1995 to see which machines it would run on?
I didn't think so.
Oh, I forgot to answer this. Yes, I've run Slackware.
It won't run on three of my machines: an 8088, an 80286,
and an 80386 with 1MB of RAM.
Have you ever tried LRP?
The last version of LRP that I used had a 1.3.?? kernel, and the
whole system fit on a single 1.4 or 1.2 MB Floppy, but required
about 8 MB of ram, because it ran from a ram disk, no hd required.
Then it won't run on any of the same three machines I mentioned
above.
Do you have any version of windows that will run on an 8088 or
80286?
Yes, I do.
The 8088 does not have a protected mode and is not suitable
for true multitasking. The 80286 had a broken protected mode
that was fixed in the 80386, but was still capable of limited
protected mode operation and was minimally suitable to true
multitasking. I had Windows 286, for my 16MHz 80286 and it
was only a slight improvement over dosshell, I prefered
Xtree gold over both.
It appears that you do, too. At least for the 80286.
I never ran and don't have Win 1.0, but IIRC, it ran on an 8088.

You have found the bank of Larn.
I can explain it for you, but I can't understand it for you.
I speak only for myself, and I am unanimous in that!
