broken record mode..... This doesn't work on current with "options VM86" in the kernel at least on my Pentium 166. This is from Windows 95 or Windows 98. Maybe its only Pentiums... I dont have other hardware to test. IIRC the problem is the memory size checking code that takes advantage of "options VM86" if it's present.
