IO Data's IOS-10/386 device driver for 80386 and 80386SX
machines offers EMS 4.0, bank memory specification, and bank
switching for system memory over 1 megabyte. The company ported
the DOS environment to the virtual 8086 mode and used a paging
mechanism to change memory mapping for high-speed access on a par
with bank memory boards. The IOS-10/386 will also offer
conventional functions such as a disk cache, a RAM disk, and bank
drivers.
 
Price: 6,000 to 8,000 yen for the NEC PC-9801 series 80386 and
80386SX machines and the PC-386 series.
