[comp.sys.ibm.pc.misc] AboveDisk Question

dlow@hpspcoi.HP.COM (Danny Low) (10/24/90)

Have anyone had any experience with a program called AboveDisk.
It supposedly provides LIM 4.0 emulation for 286 machines using
either disk or extended memory. Does it work? Does it require
a NEAT chipset to work when converting extended memory into
expanded memory?

Let's not forget about the (disgusting) practice of sticking the
page frame in conventional memory. Yes, you can do this and be
allowed to claim 4.0 compatibility. Yet another reason to get
a 386. (or an AMD Lonestar 286)
