You might be thinking of 386MAX. Of the two, I liked QEMM better. I never used Helix. Ah, the days of having multiple boot configurations to load different drivers depending on what you were going to run, all because of the 1 MB real mode memory limit and the 640/384 KB split. Anyone here ever install a Hercules monochrome card just to raise the conventional memory ceiling to 704 KB? I knew someone who did that on his BBS, before the days of extended memory managers. Of course, these days, we sometimes encounter a 2 GB memory limit, due to the 2/2 GB user/kernel split. Ah, progress!
