We had custom AT's with extended memory cards that the o.s. didn't really
know. The program we used (large company) had gotten the custom AT's with
another CAD program - and converted one to AutoCad for Engineering.

I had a sample math co-processor that made Autocad work on my XT. It was
maxed 640M and two hard drives. I was trying to get a laser printer
from a company in Canada, but support wasn't there. Used plotters.

I don't think DC had been invented yet, 1n '88 or '89.

I vaguely recall buying a Generic CADD upgrade from IMSI in San Rafael
in that general time frame.

Actially, yes it was.

TurboCAD came out in "the very early nineties". -- Bob Mayer, CEO of
IMSI Design

I think DesignCAD was released after TurboCAD, yes?

It ran on an XT quite well when Autocad could barely run on an AT at all.

Heh! I tried running Generic CADD 1 on a Compaq luggable.
It was S L O W.
