   in my case, it required a special memory board... one that could ""back fill""   
   the base memory... if i had 512k base memory, then i could back fill with a   
   512k chunk... that let DV have up to 512k sized tasks... with 4Meg on the   
   board, that gave me eight 512k sized tasks i could run or sixteen 256k ones...   
      
   if there was 640k base memory, the back filled hole could only be 384k in size   
   so everything you ran had to run in 384k or less... if there was 384k of base   
   memory, then the hole could be back filled with 640k...   
      
   not all memory cards would back fill the base 1024k of RAM, either...

   i dont' remember what mine were... i should still have them laying about   
   around here somewhere... i've been thinking about tossing up a virtual machine   
   and seeing if it will run DV with QEMM... if that back filling of the memory   
   hole thing works, it should be ok :)
