...with the exception that pretty much the only thing you can run under
3.00 in real mode are the desktop accessories it comes with. Most 3.x

For the most impressive GUI experience on any XT, I highly recommend
GeoWorks Ensemble 1.0 or 2.0. Finding it takes some digging but is
worth it. More info here:
