I think OS/2 1.x should have targeted the 386, in the 1980s. > Also, the RAM requirements made it pretty much impossible for people to recommend to their friends and family. I bought OS/2 2.0 with my own cash, and ran it on several different 386SX machines in 4MB of RAM. It was usable on that spec. Any good spec of machine for Windows 3.0 could run OS/2 2.x usefully without being unpleasant.
