	One thing that is interesting about 86-DOS on the [[S-100]] type machines, is that unlike the [[IBM PC]] ~~The~~ S-100's could access the full megabyte of ~~ram~~. According to Tim Patterson this feature was used within Microsoft until the creation of ~~32bit~~ tools to link the linker that Microsoft had built because it needed so much memory. Although I was always under the impression that Microsoft had their compilers ported to a VAX and cross compiled stuff from there as it was faster, and didn't have the same memory limits... but that's from some ~~unbased~~ rumor I heard so you know... grain of salt.
