 My dad bought an NEC Powermate 386SX about 6 mos. ago, and I don't think
 that the memory has ever been configured optimally for the applications
 we want to run.  It has the factory installed 640 base memory and 1024
 extended.  We would like to run Windows 3.0 in enhanced mode with the 
 ability to run Lotus 123R3 in a window (if that's possible) along with 
 other non-Windows applications.  I fussed about with the config.sys and
 various settings for SMARTDRV.SYS and EMM386.SYS but it never seems quite
 right.  Based on the settings, sometimes I can fire up windows in enhanced
 mode but not run any DOS windows, sometimes it starts in standard mode.
 I've read all the docs for windows memory configuration and fine-tuning
 (several times) but still can't seem to get it quite right. Would anyone 
 running this (or similar) machine like to share the contents of their 
 CONFIG.SYS file with me?  Thanks in advance...
