I thought about this: Some time ago, I had a 40MB 286 with 1 MB RAM 
(and Hercules gfx). On this one, DJGPP did not run because of the RAM 
and the 286. The successor was a 50MB 386SX16 with 1 MB RAM, and now 
the RAM is the problem. But with 4M it _may_ work - at least if 
cwsdpmi supports swapping (AFAIK it does).

I was still thinking of a 286.
