You can cheat on the 640k barrier with a 386 or an All Charge Card.
QEMM from Quaterdeck will allow you to use memory below the vidio RAM if it is
avialable.  It alwyas isn't.  We use CGA cards (ugh!) because the video RAM
starts at paragraph B800 thus giving us 738k to do DOS development in.  We
couldn't do the database work in much less.

All Charge Card purports to do the same.  I have one and will be trying it on
a 286 system.  I believe 386toTheMax might do something similar.

We've been using QEMM for about 1.5 years know starting with V1.1 and really
like it.
