Oh, I suppose there is. If you remove your EGA/VGA card, you can have 700 too 900KiB free for DOS programs,
assuming these locations contain usable RAM (UMB card, chipset driver etc). Not good for gaming, though.
Unless someone finds a way to relocate the VGA framebuffer and a game's associated code for it on the fly. 😉
Seriously, though, if you enter the mysterious realms of black wizardry and use Helix Multimedia Cloaking, you might get lots of DOS memory. 😁
