[vcf-midatlantic] Looking for Windows/286; vintage windows setup question

[william degnan]

I might know where you can get this, will get back to you.  If I remember
correctly

-  2.1: has a different label and includes paintbrush disks.    2.1 was
sold in the IBM branch I worked in later 86 This would have been the
version marketed to AT users just a few weeks before the PS/2 line was
launched, or thereabouts.

- 2.11 was introduced in Dec 86 along with the PS/2 (or thereabouts) and
they sold it through 1987 (until 3.0 came out).  Not targeted to the AT.

Other than maybe Windows ME, the 286/386 versions were not used on a large
scale.
I did not look this info up, just going from memory
