Do DJGPP programs that come with djdev202.zip work on that 386SX, or
do they also blow up with a message like this?  For example, try
running go32-v2.exe with no arguments, and tell us what that produces.

In general, follow the advice of section 3.9 in the FAQ.

There's no notion of ``size'' in DJGPP, since the only parts that are
in memory are your program and CWSDPMI, and those don't depend much on
the DJGPP version.  As for the small disk size, you don't need
anything on that disk except your program, CWSDPMI, and possibly some
swap space.  The size of these, again, do not depend on the DJGPP
version.

Bottom line: use the latest DJGPP version.
