Just one question? Who would really use it?
Put it this way: 1) who has such a machine, 2) what programs are expected to be used that neeh EMS 2.0, 3) how many times after testing?
Well, the only one I know for sure is the guy posting over on freedos-user who wants a working XMS driver for his 286. Other than that, a scattered few, probably some embedded chip and custom hardware developers, and historic re-enactors or fanatic use-it-until-composts-under-my-fingers types.
Someone e-mailed me the other day asking about using USB with his MS-DOS-based robot, so such setups exist. Hopefully it isn't one of those 50-foot warrior robots that would randomly stomp Tokyo buildings should there be an upper memory conflict.
