- Huh ? The extra 2 meg would probably take up an additional 2 meg of
- Autoconfig(TM) space. This might cause problems if you have a 8 meg
- memory board, but boards requiring smaller address space can fit in.
- To autoconfig boards, it would seem the OS start assigning address
- for memory at 0x00400000. That shouldn't mess up any boards as they
- are pretty much address independent. The OS just have to aware of
- that. AGA have nothing to do with Zorro.
