I've been reading ads lately which say "..if you want 386 performance at
at 286 price, get our whiz-bang 386SX computer..."

I understand that a 386SX  has some of the functionality of a 80386.
Will it run, for example, multi-tasking OS like Microport Unix?
Will it run OS/2 ? What can a 386 do that a 386SX can't?

Thanks for your patience with this, I'm sure, much rehashed subject.
