If we were to truly care enough to put the effort into it, we could

issue, of course, but given a 640KB memory limit there's only so far you
can really practically go anyway.
Technically you could use extended and expanded memory to break the 640
KB barrier. Ah, the ineffable joy of tuning config.sys ;-)
