	I don't have my manual with me at the moment, but the two boards
	I do know of that DESQview positively supports are the Intel Above
	Board and the AST RAMpage (includes the RAMpage Plus). Be careful
	with the RAMpage Plus, (at least the 286 version) as it uses SIMMS
	instead of the normal DRAMs and your memory (I'm assuming that you
        are using DRAMs) would not work if you plan to change.

I've seen several Forums on Compu$erve that have description files in
their libraries. It takes so little time to create a description file tho, 
that you would be better off building them yourself than trying to find
ones that you need.
