Ponder, the only memory I saw for those was on Cards which were pretty much
all LIM. But its been to long, and I never used them...

Huh, I got it backwards again...

Makes me wonder if you could get Win3.11 to run on that thing, however
slowly. So far as I was able to tell Memory access was the biggest issue.

never saw EMM286, went looking for a looooong time... for that and QRAM I
think it was... had the possibility of getting 4Mb into one 286 but never got
there.
