I'm wondering if the cognoscenti could tell me what the difference is between a 386/SX and a regular 386. I am looking into buying a 386/SX and I like the price and I don't mind slow. My concerns are: 1) Will it run the 386 Minix in protected mode? 2) Does it have the identical virtual memory setup (so when vm-minix inevitably appears, it too will work)? 3) Is it in any way visible to software different from a 386?
