KembaraXtra–Computer Terms – .386
The extension .386 identifies files used as virtual device drivers under Windows 3.1. These files provide low-level services that allow Windows to manage hardware and system resources in its 386 enhanced mode, which leverages features of the 80386 processor such as virtual memory and multitasking. By loading .386 virtual device drivers, Windows 3.1 could simulate multiple virtual machines, provide better memory management, and coordinate access to hardware among multiple running applications.
