My husband and I will be buying a 386 or 486 in the (hopefully near) 
future.  But since we can't afford 2 new systems, we'll have to keep our 
current system as well.  Since I will be stuck using the old XT clone, 
I've been upgrading it a little.  Currently the XT has 640K, DRDOS 5.0, 
2 hard disks (40 & 20Mb), and a 360K floppy.  

I've seen add-on memory boards for XTs that can hold up to 2Mb.  If I 
add 1 or 2 Mb RAM, how do I configure/use it with DRDOS 5.0?  (Looking
at the manual did not clarify things since it assumes I understand the
terms extended memory, expanded memory, and LIM 4.0.)

Thanks for any info...
