   We are working with some development software on Tandy 4000's that are on
   an NFS net, using PC-NFS.  Between the Norton Commander (overlayable
   version), the development software, and the net drivers, memory is getting
   very tight -- and these machines have almost 2 meg each.  So what I'd like
   to do is get the network drivers into extended or expanded (anybody know
   the difference?) memory, where they won't compete for primary memory.  But
   I haven't seen a way of doing this.  Does anybody have one -- presumably a
   set of switch settings that can be added to the DEVICE= statements in
   CONFIG.SYS?  The drivers we're using are PCNFS.SYS, WD3008E.SYS, and
   SOCKDRV.SYS .

   In case anybody thinks of it, I've already removed the RAMDISK that the
   Tandy's used to have.


   Thanks for any help.
