Er, yeah, sorry, I have this tendancy to call all 32-bit x86's 386. Just a side effect of using *BSD/i386 branches, I guess. The oldest machine I have in my possession currently is an old Compaq-486. And yeah, I'm probably not even going to include that one. I can't even get FreeDOS to boot from floppy, much less the CD!
