I got a second Number Smasher 860 card so I’ve busted out the 286. The toolchain itself runs on the i860 so the host CPU being a potato doesn’t really affect it. The problem I ran into before was that the 32-bit tools were linked against an ancient version of Phar Lap that refused to run on my DECpc 486. This at least solves *that.* Unforunately, the GREX graphics library needs a 386, and all my 386s are either laptops or Micro Channel. Hm. I guess I need to bum a 386DX-40 off someone.
