Can you support this claim, like, with some FACTS (ie: the page of the 
manual which states that you can only use 640k?)

I have read several accounts on this newsgroup from people who have been
using Coherent on 2mb machines, and have 1855k available after boot. This
would seem to invalidate your claim that it can only address 640K. Or,
does this limitation exist merely because you only have 640K in your XT?

Furthermore, the ads for the product stated that it had a small, 64k
kernal. Are you saying that MWC lied to their customers?

Nothing is worse than an inept user who mis-installs a product and then
bitches about it.
