I didn't have any back then, either. Nor did I have enough memory to need a memory manager. I got my first 120mb HD, and went from 640k to 4MB RAM, shortly after 5.0 came out.
Everything here had 40Mb drives which tended to be paartitioned 30/10, with the 10 being the secondary partition. Smaller drives tended to be fairly rare and were full height 5.25" jobbies. Used to run the BBS
with that scheme reversed, boot from the 10, and use the other 30 for
file areas.
I have got used to using FreeDOS in dosemu that, when I switch to a native MS-DOS (or Windows 9x) machine, I have to remember to load DOSKEY or it drives me nuts. ;)

Yeah, adding DOSKEY to my autoexec.bat was always one of the first
things I did. :)
I hate using *DOS w/o DOSKEY. :P TBH, if I'd of found Unix/Linux/BSD back in the early DOS days I'd of switched over way back then... while the experience wasn't on par for some years, it was still the way to go IMO. (Unless you were married to mainstream software and whatnot...)
