- Yes, it has 16 MB *address* space, but this space has to be shared among
- RAM and I/O and ROM. They left a little room in the specifications of
- which address range is reserved for which purpose (so being prepared for
- the big future), and so there were reserved only 10 of the 16 MB for
- use as RAM, and again 2 of this as Chip RAM, so you can add 8 MB Fast RAM.
