Don't even think about putting it on a >8088 or even 80286. Heck, a 020 Mac can run 7.5 with no prob. Well, as long as we're showing how low you can go, Windows 95 will run on a 386SX at 16 MHz, the lowest speed they made; I have it on a 386SX/25. It runs fine on a 386DX/33, by the way, and its obvious that you've no experience with the OS on that processor. The 8088 and 80286 rather passe, so Windows 95, Windows 3.1, and os/2 2.x and up don't run on it. Sorta like trying to run system 7.x on a 68000.
