- If you have the required 64K of exTENDed you may load the DOS Kernal into
- that UMB. However, the brands of 286 that allow device drivers to be loaded
- high or the emulation of exPANDed memory in exTENDed memory are few. I
- wouldn't count on either feature on an AT. SAS absolutely requires
- exPANDed memory and will not use exTENDed memory.
