No version of DOS on the market (MS or PC) that i know of will allow >640K.
You can use the memory above 640K on an AT as a RAM disk or to store the
transient portion of COMMAND.COM, though. But in PC-WEEK (October, 28)
headlines read: Breakthrough seen on New '286 Operating System.

It's called 286DOS from Microsoft (of course) and it will be able to take
advantage of the 16 Megabyte addressing capability of the 80286 in its
protected mode.
