I'm asking because I'd love to see it running on a 286, even if it is very slow. A pure DOS version would run much better than a windows 3.1 one (in think).
Technically, both Windows 3.1 and QuickTime could run on a 286 PC..
Problem might be that QT's "VR" feature isn't being implemented in such an early build that's still 286 compatible, though.
So this would require tinkering with the files, patching them, to make things run eventually.
QuickTime 2.x also had certain optimized video drivers included, for ET4000 and so on, which might be using 32-Bit/i386 instructions.
The "easiest" solution would be to get a 386 accelerator card (Intel Inboard 386/AT) for that PC or a little "Make-it 486" upgrade card.

Edit: There's an Apple II "port" (demake) that might be running in emulation (on a 286).
