Hi,

I am considering purchasing a 486 machine for software development.  I
have a few questions I was hoping some of you might be able to help me
with:

Are there any problems with 486 compatibility with existing software or
hardware?

How easy/hard is it to port a system developed on a 486 down to a 386?


Thanks for any help you may be able to provide,
--Robyn
