Hi there.  I am looking for some advice concerning adding memory.
I currently have a DTK 286 12Mhz machine with the standard 1Mb of
RAM.  I run PC Tools TSR, but that is all for now.  I have read
quite a bit about extended and expanded memory but I'm still not
sure what will be the best for what I want to do.  I want to go
into Windows 286 and set up a multitasking environment with Lotus,
Wordperfect, dBase and Procomm.  From what I've read I believe I
should go with extended memory using a LIM/EMS 4.0 board to manage
it.
 
Is this the right way to go?  Or should I go to something like
Intel's Aboveboard, i.e. Expanded Memory?  Is a Windows Multitasking
environment too much to ask of a 12 Mhz 286, with or without extra
memory?
 
Thanks in advance.
