I'm using loadhi on a 286 machine now, but it requires an expanded memory board with HARDWARE SUPPORT for LIM 4.0. Many expanded memory boards only have partial support for LIM 4.0. At my local Fry's Electronics, the boards without the necessary support were $80-100. The one board they had which would create "HI RAM" was $195. We needed the hi memory and the board was cheaper than buying a new computer, so.... It's working fine using LOADHI on a network. -- Skip
