Let's assume, VERY hypothetically, that MS releases a version of Windows
that runs in 386 protected mode.  Say we're a development shop that is
using NetWare with 386MAX, in order to stick all the net software up into
high memory.  Well, this won't work -- 386MAX is protected mode software,
and so is our hypothetical version of Windows.  If we don't use 386MAX,
we don't have enough RAM to compile.

Other than rebooting each time we switch from edit/compile to testing, is
there some way we can get NetWare and this very, very hypothetical version
of Windows to coexist?  I seem to recall hearing about some hardware board
that lets you shove all the net drivers onto its own RAM.  

Any concrete answers to this VERY hypothetical scenario would be appreciated.
