	Sorry I can't help you with your problem, but I have a similar
situation.  My girlfriend's Cyrix 6x86 P-200 claims to have no upper
memory.  None, nada, zip.  This means that, while running in true DOS
mode, it can't run a vast majority of programs.  I suspect that Win95
has some legacy program that takes that space even when rebooting into
MS-Dos mode.  I think I can get by with a boot disk, but those are a
royal pain in the [], and I'd rather find another way.

	From what I've seen, no PC could run Win95 or any modern program
without that upper memory, so I assume it does exist.  What gives?

Email replies preferred.
