> "one big block of 16-bit RAM" is 64KB.

Without large model or something, one segment was a block of 64kB and me, I'd call that an 8-bit block of RAM.

OS/2 1.x allocated all the computer's RAM as its RAM, with no conventional/extended split -- unless or until you ran a DOS box. The handful of times I used it, it was a fileserver with 3+Open and those never ran DOS boxes.
