I kind of want a 386, only because I used to have one.  Still take an XT system
instead.  I've still got DOS 6.22, 3.3 and 2 (I think) lying around.  Not sure
if you are supposed to install it on multiple systems, but I doubt anyone would
care now.

I have a partition on my main desktop which is FreeDOS.  Its OK, but I found
copying to/from floppies really slow.
