I have recently configured an AT clone for someone else.  It includes
2 Meg memory total memory, 1 VGA card and 1 monitor/keyboard + other
essentials.

          System Memory:    ~230k DOS_3.3 + Desqview + Drivers
                            ~390k Foxbase (when active under Desqview)

          Extended Memory:  ~40k Desqview
                           Rest  Ram Drives used by Desqview and Foxbase

All works well although the 640k region is a bit cramped.


A request has been made to add another user (monitor and keyboard)!
I am looking for as many reasonably priced solutions as I can find.
Some thoughts I have had are:
            Buy a cheap XT and lan to the AT.
            Buy pc version of UNIX and start all over.
            Work out some scheme using the i/o ports.

Anyone with prior experience or ideas, please post a reply via email.
