Here's the story: IBM PS/2 55sx (the one with the 16MHz 386sx chip), VGA, 60MB
hard disk, 2MB ram.  After being pissed off that Win386 couldn't do anything
on my Compaq 386 (only 1MB ram), I tried it on the 55sx.  Well, Windows 386
doesn't like DOS 4.0!!!  I would have gone ahead and dropped back to 3.3
(4.0 really isn't all that wonderful), except using 4.0 is the only way to
format the hard disk as a single volume.  

When I run Win386, it dumps back to DOS with the message "Unsupported DOS
version".  Any suggestions?  Thanx for your help!
