You may get it to fit. I've done it with the inboard386 on my xt (1meg ram)
and you have to do a custom install and windows wants a large swapfile that
may exceed the 10meg disk. I did dos5.0/winders3.1 How did it run? Ok,
obviously slow (386sx/16) and swaps it's brains out. Very few applications
will run as there is not enough space after swapping for many to start and
it tends to crash easier. I also have windows3.0 which will run on a 640k
xt!
