You just brought me back to my childhood!

If you had included MultiConfig options that added Soundblaster8/Soundblaster16, with CDROM or without it... AND their complementary AUTOEXEC.BAT options that would trigger based on the CONFIG.SYS, then that would have been my system config! Without being able to squeeze every single kb of memory possible, there was no way to play Sam and Max or Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, while still having a system that can boot Windows 3.1 :-)

Yeah, it was great having a menu instead of a collection of different boot floppies. Though at this point I forget how much I did with MultiConfig versus once I had enough RAM what I was doing with OS/2's boot manager. OS/2 Warp 3 was wild, but mostly because it was a better way to configure DOS and/or run some DOS and Windows 3.1 apps.
