	XM runs on 8088 machines, i believe.  slowly, but correctly.
	when it boots, it checks CPU type, and modifies its hard disk
	code appropriately...  there's also a hook in XM which allows

	i can't recommend it highly enough -- Concurrent DOS was a 
	lifesaver -- even on an XT or 80186 machine...  i find MS-DOS
	to be "untenable".  gack!
