For those of you who have any of the 286 or 386 C&T chipsets, there is
a suite of drivers called The Last Byte, that does a lot of what QEMM.SYS
et al  do, without using Virtual 86 mode.  The Neat chipset allows you to
arbitrarily remap memory, so TLB fills in the holes above 640K with the
RAM that is normally hidden behind the ROMS and Video Ram.

There is NO performance penalty, as there is with QEMM.  It is also compatible
with Windows 3.0.

If you can ftp from WSMR-SIMTEL20.ARMY.MIL, you can get TLB at

PD1:<MSDOS.SYSUTL> TLB-V117.ZIP

It is crippleware, but you can experiment with it.  It is 30$ to register.

Or contact dlewis@scu.bitnet; he's the author.
