(No irony intended ... though someone might suggest > GEM) MS-DOS with Windows 3.0 isn't a bad idea for that platform. Windows 3.1 or later will require a 386 or better, unfortunately. OS/2 version 1.3 is also a good choice, if you plan on compiling most of the apps yourself. (Apps for 32-bit OS/2 are hard enough to find these days, let alone 16-bit apps!) Finding video drivers might be a bear, however. You could also run Xenix. Don't know if there are any open source Unixes that are 286 compatible. -- David
