install on my 386/25 (12+" stack of floppies), and wasn't giving the TL/2
my full attention. It's been awhile, so of course I don't remember the
error messages I got. It's on the "to do" list, but not exactly the top
priority.

Windows 3.0 will _not_ work on anything less than
a 286. Or in my
experience on a 286 with an 8-bit bus (Tandy TL/2). Unless there's
a trick I missed. (Yes, I had the CGA drivers at hand).
Funny you mention that... I was following this thread trying to remember
if it was an SL/2 or TL/2 that I ran Windows 3.0 on. I'm pretty sure it
was a TL/2, but it was one of the two for sure. So... I don't remember if
there was a 'trick', but Windows 3.0 definitely will run on an 8-bit bus
machine.
