- No, COHERENT doesn't have swapping yet, but MWC is working on that.

- COHERENT 4.0 uses a flat 32 bit memory model, there is nothing

-
- The limitation is that COHERENT supports a maximum of 16 MB memory
- yet, because of the DMA controllers with only 24 bit addresses.
- This is for ISA bus systems, maybe later it supports more memory
- with EISA bus systems.
