Well, I hate to pop your thought bubble, but the 128K above the 640K in
the LE "D" is not wired into the memory space of the system.  If it were,
it would interfere with any CGA cards you may have plugged into it.

I had the same idea when I first got my LE "D" and saw a letter in BYTE
magazine that was erroneous (maybe just misleading), but many phone calls
to the LE people got me straitened out.

Sigh...
