Well, i suppose so, though i can't imagine too many folks with 030 systems
having memory constraints so severe that they can't afford a coupla dozen
kilobytes for some page tables.
Secondly, can you explain why the Ronin board tends to do better on almost
all benchmarks against other, equivalently clocked 030 systems (such as the
Commodore 030)? Seems to me that that vindicates their use of software 
memory control.
