My memory might be fuzzy, but I remember support in those days being very limited for 7.1. Win 3.11 would run on stuff made in the 80s (any 386 or 486 with enough RAM) - OS7 required a fairly new Mac.
- aidenn0 13y agoI ran windows 3.1 on a 286AT with 2MB of ram.
- dspillett 13y ago3.1 and 3.11 were far different than the 0.01 would suggest. * "Standard mode" was dropped, so 3.11 required a 386 or above * Significant networking improvements (hence the "for workgroups" in the name) including IIRC built-in TCP/IP support (prior to that most people used Trumpet Windsock) * I/O subsystem improvements too I've heard it said that WfW3.11 was essentially a huge gamma-test for the network and I/O subsystems intended for what became Windows 95.
- aidenn0 13y agoThere was a non WfW 3.11 though that I think didn't include VSHARE.386; by the time 3.11 was around I think I had my 386/40 Also, WfW did not initially ship with built in winsock implementation, WfW did ship all the networking apparatuses other than that, just needing a drop-in winsock.
