Win1.0 or v1.01 -- doesn't matter.
It needed a serial mouse, 10MB HD, EMS board and CGA/Hercules Graphic card. I used a
Hercules card.

How many remember the EMS specification or know the difference between EMS and XMS RAM ?

Oh yes, various versions of QEMM. That and EMS gave extended life to an 8088 PC.
