Re: Windows 3.x RIP
We still use 3.11, virtually on a daily basis. It runs on a PC connected to a Fluke microprocessor emulator. It's currently used to fault find on hardware containing the Motorola MC68040 processor. It will stay that way until we don't require the kit any more. Fluke / no longer support the emulator.

 By today's standards, it seems primitive - but with Windows 3.1 & DOS it was a huge improvement over the CP/M system I was using before - which I used mainly for running dBase II (anyone remember those?)  Al / Skywave |

Re: Windows 3.x RIP
I used to work for a electronics manufacturer who still use Windows 3.11 in their surface mount PCB machines...

Re: Windows 3.x RIP
I still have Win3.11 on my system just for old time sake but I have to run it under dosbox to use it on my system.
I also have both win1 & 2 but they won't run under dosbox. My main OS is win 2000 sp4 which I use all the time. |
