 Didnt Desqview and an AST Rampage card beat winblows ?
 ( lots of desqview sold bundeled with the card )
 Before people had 386's you could do EEMS hardware
 paged mode multi tasking with it. all on 8088/86 machines.
 later when the 386 came to market, qemm did the function
 of the rampage card ( and more ).
