Re: expanded memory on an XT. I have been useing 1 meg expanded on an XT
turbo clone with good success.  I have the Intel AboveBoard 286. Why the
"286" variety, you ask? Well, it won't always be in an 8 bit machine. the
Intel board will work in 8088 or 80286 systems.  In 8088, you can only use
it for expanded, or backfilling conventional.  In a 80286 , you can use it
for expanded, extended, or backfilling.  Other boards have these capabilities
as well
Re: spoolers.  Some programs, Wordperfect 5.1, among them, have a 
spooler as part of the program; yes, it works fine.
