	This sounds like baloney to me. I have been running IBM 1.1 SE
	on a Compaq 386s for quite a while now with _NO_ problems. We
	have OS/2 from a couple of different vendors and use it on
	various 386 machines (both straight 386 and 386sx) and have
	had _NO_ problems, especially no 'Brand X won't run on a 386'
	problems. In fact, the only problems we have seen at all are
	mouse drivers incompatibilities.
