I had a rather good-natured 286. Infact, with 2meg it was rather innovative
for the particular model/mobo I had. I used a TSR that "pushed" some resources
into highmemory area. I also used a util that could create a ram-drive. I
forget the name of the util, but unlike other ramdrive utils, this one allowed
changing the size of the ram drive on the fly and it even allowed removing and
adding the ramdrive without rebooting!
