    I have applied a patch that allows me to do that.
    I think that the patch simply uses the IO.SYS from the EBD.
    Now it uses config.sys and autoexec.bat, but while trying to load QEMM
97, it hangs, probably due a conflict with the built-in XMS memory manager.
Since I need QEMM in order to run Desqview, it is very important for me to
disable that.
