I have a 386 SX 25 with 4 meg of ram, which makes a workable system...  It
is made useful but the 540 meg drive, but there is no support for my
parallel port ethernet adapter (compex paraport-e)  and the drive is very
noisy, so its set to power down after a minute...  of course 4 meg of ram
means some swapping...  so the drive powers down for about five seconds on
average.

Oh well...  enrique would otherwise be in the bin.
