Subject: RE: XT COMPUTERS
Quarterdeck QRAM only did that with NEAT or LEAP chip
sets from Chips &
Technologies, by using the shadow RAM mapping, and required 1MB on the
motherboard, not 640K. I didn't think that was a significant enough
market share to mention.
It would also work with a LIM 4.0 EMS board as I mentioned earlier.

I had a Phillips XT that had 760k RAM. No idea how they did it but
it reported the memory available at start-up and definitely didn't
use Quarterdeck.
