GeoWorks Ensemble v 2.0
Im having a hard time finding any spec sheet for this relase though
so I have no idea what the sys requirements are, but I did find this review from 1993
It ran on anything from an 8086 upwards, 640 kb RAM required; CGA graphics minimum and hard drive.

I tried it once on an XT with almost those specs (VGA instead of CGA), but it was no fun. I did run very smoothly on my first laptop (286, 1 MB RAM, 40 MB HDD, VGA mono lcd).

For me, the big problems were: No built in spreadsheet (Quattro Pro sort of semi-merged in) and no database whatsoever (I believe there was a later version with something added). Nice package, but without expandability we soon hit its ceiling.
