Note that a 386 is not necesarily compatible with 486/Pentium software, as
a 486DX or higher is guaranteed to have a floating-point coprocessor unit,
whereas 386s and 486SXs do not always have such a unit, and consequently
software emulation must be supplied. If software emulation is not supplied,
they will not be compatible.
