- Sounds probable. However, I as well as other "power users" would
- appreciate a ZORRO III solution rather than the CPU slot "hack".
- This would be much harder to design and would require the MMU to
- remap the addressess of the AGA, but still feasable.

- Some of us have their CPU slot filled with a CPU, you know.... :)
