386Max only works with 386 (or 386SX) machines.  If you have more than 640K physical memory available (presumably extended memory although some machines have 384K of "shadow memory") 386Max will use the hardware memory mapping features of the 386 to make that memory appear between 640K and 1MB.  386Max then provides a utility program with which you can load TSR's above 640K.  I have this and it works well.  386Max also has an optional package for loading device drivers above 640K, but I don't have it and c





an't comment on it.
