Hello, Steven. I recently acquired some old "luggable" 386 25's. I can
get at least 8MB of RAM in them. I presume that they would handle
non-graphical BL 1 ok, but not BL2, right? I don't know if 386's had
coprocessors or not, but if they do, would that make a difference? And,
let's say I could max out that machine with 16MB RAM: should I still stick
with BL1? Would X work with that amount of RAM? It's got some unusual
video card (has a small LCD built in - but with an external plug for a
regular monitor), so I'm not sure I could get a very good display out of
it, even if I could install X on it.

Thanks, James
