There might be a solution!
When you install WINNT you can choose what kind of computer you have. On these computers the choice was something like "Uniprocessor ...", If you choose Standard-PC instead, you get a system that can run Fox2.6 and other 16-b programs.
And why then? It have something to do with support for APIC and MPS. It's a different hal.dll that installs when you choose Standard-PC.
I have seen this solution on the DELL-computer.
It can on some computers be possible to disable APIC-support in BIOS.
