I think a friend's family's computer may have had Geoworks on it but I would have only seen it exiting to DOS to play games. (Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?)

Yes, I am running QEMM also!  DOSBox-X booting an MS-DOS 6.22 image with QEMM 8.0 and DESQview 2.80, also with Microsoft Network Client version 3.0 for DOS to mount a network share as drive D:.

With the network client loaded it gets a bit low on conventional memory (418 K free in a DOS window inside DESQview), but it's enough to run most things.  Outside of DESQview there is 536 K available (with the network client loaded).
