Windows 3.1 w/ Intel Inboard 386/PC - VxD Issue

[Caluser2000]

Also it’s worth pointing out you are using the IBM value point install of Win 3.1 in case there are some differences in that build - not sure if everyone is using the vanilla Win 3.1 build ?

Yip. On my Zenith 286LP Plus.

Excellent progress!

Try running MS Windows 3.x in Standard Mode. It is faster and more stable that way.

For those who have Intel Inboard 386/AT you don't need any of these changes since this inboard does support windows 3.1 and 3.11
I successfully installed 3.1 whiteout the need to do any changes source https://ftp.zx.net.nz/pub/archive/ftp.microsoft.com/MISC/KB/en-us/85/444.HTM

The Intel InBoard 386 PC/XT is NOT the same as the 386/AT chip. It is designed for computers with an 8088 processor. You can only reliably run Microsoft Windows operating system version 3.0 in real mode on a system with an Intel InBoard 386 PC/XT.

IBM PC AT 5170
Intel Above Board plus 8/IO
Intel Inboard 386/AT + piggyback expansion 3MB
ATI Graphics Ultra Pro ISA Mach32 VGA Card
Windows 3.1 from these disks https://forum.vcfed.org/index.php?threads/weird-intel-windows-3-1.1247644/

What a price…

A sure indication that we've moved from the "I need the old gear to do stuff" to "I think I'll have it gold-plated, framed and hung on a wall."

I think it could also be a sign of economic times. Things have gotten really expensive, so if you needed money you would reach for some of your highest valued possessions. I am seeing a lot of unobtanium hardware out there. Just wish we could see a few more Make-It 486's.

Agreed

I think that point was about 30 years ago for the Inboard 386. No reason to buy one since then except for the novelty.

Novelty is good
