The title basically says it all.  I suspect the answer is no.  It would
be great if the DOS compatability box DOS could use extended or expanded
memory, but if I put my thinking hat on for a moment, I guess that would
architecturally be a problem since OS/2 manages memory above 1 Meg
(and above 640 K? probably not because that's where memory-mapped I/O
is done so DOS needs to manage that).  So, am I right in assuming that
my DOS Box can't have a virtual disk?
