By itself, the NEAT chipset mets only the letter and not the spirit of
EMS 4.0. There seem to be some 286 motherboards that do have full
hardware support for EMS 4.0 but I don't think that will help you.

If you have access to Infoworld, check out Steve Gibson's 386sx column.
VERY good stuff in there.

I think you will want to get DESQView of 386^Max.
