I'm not sure if this would work under VP/ix, but I was having this A20
problem with a Gateway system (cringe) under DOS (3.2). Getting 
Quarterdeck EMS (5.11) as a substitute for himem.sys solved the problem,
even to "enabling" the A20 handler. Of course, that didn't keep the
olde Gateway from falling off its hinges, so to speak (random reboots).
Oh, those were occuring before the Quarterdeck fix. Just more fuel
for the grist mill.
