QEMM from Quarterdeck or 386Max from Qualitas will do this by loading
as many of the drivers as possible into unused portions of memory
between 640KB and 1MB. I recommend QEMM mainly because they have
a program that can automatically configure your system to do this.
I did have to hand tweak the results but it was nice having the
program do most of the work.
I managed to free up about 32KB on my system. Your mileage may vary.
