I had a rather good-natured 286.  Infact, with 2meg it was rather
innovative for the particular model/mobo I had.  I used a TSR that
"pushed" some resources into highmemory area.  I also used a util
that could create a ram-drive.  I forget the name of the util, but unlike
other ramdrive utils, this one allowed changing the size of the ram drive
on the fly and it even allowed removing and adding the ramdrive without
rebooting!
