hi; I specialize in 386s & 486s, DOS and Win 3.1 If you want you can get in touch with me and I will do my best to answer any questions you have. Java is a problem with win 3.1 It requires 32 bit operating systems such as win 95 or linux to work properly. Dos and win 3.1 are 16 bit. Hope this helps. I still use a 386 in my studio for preparing materials when i am there for when I go home in the evenings.
