It has a good reputation so far as I know.  Actually I feel sort of
good *because* it's a non-Intel CPU, but that's just me being
perverse. 

I've had a 386/40 for about a week now; it's running qemm and
lantastic and desqview and parts of my bbs without a glitch, but I
haven't tried windows on it.

Try OS/2 2.0 on it.  :)  Does quite nicely.  Actually I'm running an AMD 386
33 on my system... another non-intel system.  it runs' os/2 flawlessly for 
me.
