Well, I got a couple of replies indicating that it is possible
to put PC-NFS in High Memory.
Thanks to all the replies. I have put a
small listing of the mail I received for those people
who expressed an interest about this subject.

There are many users who are putting pcnfs and some
drivers high. Depending on the card/driver installed and the
3rd party memory enhancer you have ,depends on what can be loaded
high. We have people running successfully with RYBS, QEMM, 386MAX
to name a few. I can forward an example of how a PC is configured
but keep in mind it is an example only, and your environment will
probably vary. THis sample is for HI386, I do not have an example
for 286 based machine..
Good luck

RYBS is a product that moves the drivers from config.sys
to the autoexec file.
---- sample config.sys -----
buffers = 20
shell = c:\dos\command.com /E:1024 /p
----- autoexec.bat ------
c:\AMS\hi386
c:\AMS\moremem C800-E000
C:\AMS\ lastdrive /H V
C:\AMS\device = /H c:\DOS\ansi.sys
C:\AMS\device = /H c:\nfs\pcnfs.sys
C:\AMS\device = /H c:\nfs\sockdrv.sys
C:\AMS\device = /H c:\drivers\vecie6.sys
C:\AMS\device = /H c:\nfs\nfsvec.sys
C:\AMS\files /H 40
C:\AMS\loadhigh c:\nfs\prt.com *

386Max Professional by Qualitas, 301-907-6700
allows PC-NFS device drivers to be loaded in high DOS
memory ON 386 PC`s ONLY. This is a software product only.
QEMM 386 by Quaterdeck, 213-392-9851 allows PC-NFS device
drivers to load into high DOS memory ON 386 PC`S ONLY.
This is a software producvt only.
Move'Em by Qualitas, 301-907-6700 allows PC-NFS device
drivers to load into high DOS memory on 8088, 80286 and
386 PC`s which have an EMS 4.0 device driver or a
Chips and Technologies chip set containing 1 Mb. This
is a software product, but requires EMS 4.0 hardware
on 8088 and 80286 PC's.
Rybs Hicard by Rybs Technologies 303-444-6073 allows
PC-NFS device drivers to load into upper DOS memory on
8088 and 80286 machines. This is a hardware/software
product and does not require EMS 4.0 hardware.

I don't know anything about the product you mentioned, but Quarterdeck
Office Systems has a product called QRAM that supposedly will let you
load TSR's and device drivers in high memory. I have ordered it and
am expecting delivery any day now. You may wish to contact them at
(213)392-9701 (9-5 PST). I plan to install it on a Zenith Z-248 with
PC-NFS 3.01. I can let you know if it works or not.
