I think the 80286 could support a max of 16mb of ram. I doubt many computers built from them had anywhere near that much ram.

I scrounged enough chips and a carrier board to max my Compaq out at 3.6MB. That may have been a model specific limitation.

I believe that this computer had a 20MB hard drive, and that I eventually ran Stacker to compress the volume and squeeze out a bit more space. I know for sure that I never got anywhere close to 100MB.

On one of my computers in this era, I managed to get a paperwhite VGA and Windows 3.11 (for workgroups) running despite not meeting product specs. My 40-something brain is not quite reliable enough for me to state this with any certainty.

I had a Pentium 1, 100mhz with 16MB of ram. Was a beast playing MechWarrior 2 and Terminal Velocity!
