- No, actually, it wouldn't. We have this all worked out very nicely -- Zorro II
- can't move but Chip RAM can and, when systems could out that support more than
- 2MB, will (though chances are it'll be shadowed down at $00000000 anyway, since
- the OS needs memory there and it would enhance compatibility as long as that
- level of compatibility is a concern).
-
- Alice doesn't support 4MB of Chip RAM, but obviously something will some day.
- We worked the details quite some time ago to keep developers on the right track.
-
- This has nothing to do with Zorro III.
