It's possible, but barely. The performace is going to be crappy. You should probably use OS/2 v1.x. I thin the SYS Reqs. is

2MB (4MB recommended)
386sx (486 50Mhz recommended)

Sounds good!

Where can I get Geoworks or GeOS. Can be an old version, too.
I read it even works on 286?

Should really be enough for me.

Can you send me file (e-mail).

Thanks!
