However, the standard MS-DOS that get shipped with PCs would recognize it. I do know there is at least one system (The DEC Rainbow) that allows you to have up to 896K and lets all programs see all this memory w/o any XMS or EMS or anything at all like that. Too bad the Rainbow isn't PC compatable (it is a 8088 that runs MS-DOS or CP/M). Warner -- Warner Losh imp@Solbourne.COM We sing about Beauty and we sing about Truth at $10,000 a show.
