- Well I used OS/2 2.0 with 5 MB RAM (20 MHz 386SX) for a couple of months
- (and with HPFS). It wasn't as fast as my current 8 MB 486DX/33 but it
- worked and was stable. Due to a hassle with purchase of a new machine for my
- office I've even had (a 4 day) experience with HPFS in a 4 MB 486DLC/33.
- It didn't crash a single time and the speed was not that bad (really) as long
- as I didn't use any Windows aplications.
