just wondering: what does the atari do if you give it more than
4 Mb of memory. will the mmu generate an address error for an access greater
than the 4Mb limit, or what. if so, that seems to cripple the 16Mb limit of
the 68000 in a big way.

speaking of boards for the Megas: what is out there anyways. anyone care
to compile a complete as possible list of peripheral cards available for
the Mega that connect to the internal bus slot. it would be interesting to
know what people are doing with the expansion slot.
