    I used to have DESQview on my IBM PS/2 56slc when I got it 10 years
    ago. I may still have my DESQview floppies somewhere. I seem to
    remember it not working too good, though. The PS/2 is VERY picky about it's himem.sys driver.

    It has been my experience that the PS/2 would not work with anything other than Microsoft's and IBM's himem.sys.

    Yes, much like the Tandy 1000 RL and 2500 SX models.
