- There was a test of it in Amiga Magazin (German), and it worked pretty well.
- Also, there exists a SCSI controller called Evolution/Multi-Evolution for the
- 2000 and 500 which includes a virtual memory system. Of cource, one will need
- a MMU to get it working.

- Feel free to e-mail to me if you want more info about it.
