What type of computer is required for DESQview?
A301: DESQview Classic can multitask programs on an 8088, 8086, 80286, 80386sx, 80386dx, 80486sx, 80486dx, V20 or V30. 8088/8086/80286/V20/V30 DVC will run in one of three ways one these machines. For additional information, get the file DV286.ZIP from SimTel (see Q7). (1) If you have true hardware compatible LIM EMS 4.0 (or EEMS) memory board and are able to disable some conventional memory, DVC will remap expanded memory to conventional memory addresses to multitask “well-behaved” programs in. (2) If you use a plug-in memory management chip such as a All-Charge Card or a SOTA POP card, it will provide the memory mapping needed to allow DVC to multitask programs beyond 640K. (3) If you have neither a LIM EMS 4.0 memory card or a memory management chip, DVC will still multitask as many programs as possible in the available conventional memory (see Q5). Besides the memory problem, on a machine less than an 80386 and without QEMM, DESQview will not be able to run programs in a small wi
