	Currently running Windows 3.0 on a NEC 386/20 with 1 MB extended
memory. I'd like to run my Intel Above Board as *expanded* memory while
still running 386 Enhanced mode, but so far no luck. CONFIG.SYS includes:

		device=c:\himem.sys
		device=c:\emm.sys at c800 208 exp=2048

	The manual (page 542) states "Windows will not run in standard
or 386 enhanced mode in conjunction with current versions of other
expanded memory emulators... If you use one of these utilities instead
of EMM386, Windows will run only in real mode."

	Well, this is NOT the case with my setup, since my setup works
just fine in standard mode. (Of course, I'm not really "emulating"
expanded memory, but running it as it was designed to be run.)

	If I'm reading the manual correctly EMM386 requires that my
board be running as extended memory, which is not what I'm after. 
According to Quarterdeck's Manifest, I still have a 96k chunk of
contiguous high memory available for (whatever) after loading Intel's driver.

	So... anyone got any hints of what's still possible?
