Charlie:
I have looked high and low for Windows 3.0 in the 720k flavor without luck.  
My favorite retro computer botique (Goodwill) has failed me in this regard. 
Thus you see  my need to floppy shuffle to get the system over.  I tried CGA 
without luck. I did get EGA working on the beast (btw, I am using a EGA driver 
that was actually designed for Windows for Wokgroups that I at one time had 
working under 95  (Yeah guys I know: its a A2 group but for those interested 
in the PCT, thought it might be of note)

My main use for the PCT lately is 1 for a ramdrive under GS/OS and 2 to use 
the 360k drives as MFM ProDOS drives.  Kinda interesting to play with in htis 
way.  I just loaded Windows to see if it would work and, to say I had.  
Now, I am thinkin of scrubbing it all and runnin CPM86 instead ;)
