- Memory mapped files will be there in 9.0 on Series 300, 400 & 700. They
- will not be supported in 9.0 for Series 800, but the intention is for them
- to be supported on Series 800 in a later release. The "it could be pulled
- at any time" is HP speak for "we aren't making any commitments at this time".
