JOSEPH HAYDN

Franz Joseph Haydn was an Austrian composer. He was born in 1732 at Rohrau and died in 1809. At the age of six he was sent to school at Haimburg, where he learned, among other things, singing and playing by rote. On account of the excellence of his voice he was appointed a choir-boy at St. Stephen's Church, Vienna. At the age of sixteen his voice began to break, and he lost his situation as a chorister. Having made the acquaintance of Metastasio, Porpora, and Cluck, Joseph Haydn gradually attracted public attention, was appointed organist to two churches, and obtained many pupils.

From 1761 to 1790 he was musical director to Prince Esterhazy, and composed during this period a great number of works, including some 120 symphonies for the orchestra, 12 operas, etc. In 1791 and 1794 he visited England, staying there nearly three years altogether, and writing his opera Orpheus and Eurydice. In 1798 he published his oratorio of the Creation, and in 1800 that of the Seasons. His old age was exempt from pecuniary troubles, and he was surrounded by appreciative friends. His last public appearance was at a performance of his Creation in 1808. Joseph Haydn's principal merit consists in his opening up a new development of instrumental composition, of which his 125 orchestral symphonies furnish abundant proof. He may be said to be the originator of the symphony and of the stringed quartette.

INTEL ABOVE BOARD

The Intel Above Board was the first product to incorporate the Lotus/Intel/Microsoft Expanded Memory Specification (EMS), which allows PC-DOS programs to access up to eight megabytes beyond the 640K memory limit. Above Board/286 is particularly useful to users of programs that require all data to be memory-resident, such as 1-2-3, Symphony, and Framework III. With an Above Board you can access up to 4Mb additional memory on a PC and 8Mb additional memory on an AT. This allowed users to create enormous spreadsheets - up to 15 times that available under normal DOS constraints. If a machine has less than 640K, Above Board memory could be used to back-fill or assign a portion of its memory to fill up system memory. Above Boards had software for a RAM disk, print buffer and menu- driven configuration program. Intel Above Board PS/286 was functionally equivalent to the Above Board 286 and added a serial port and a parallel port. Above Board provided expanded memory for products which work better with memory beyond the 640K DOS limit such as
Lotus 1-2-3 or require additional memory such as IBM OS/2.
