        I think those 1.8 meg expansion boards are quite expensive for what
they do. This 1.8 meg will always be on the AGNUS BUS, and therefore be slow!
because the CPU will have to acces it trough agnus.
Although it will be called FASTMEM (just as regular C00000 memory).
External memory is cheaper(if you have, or will get a harddrive),
and faster. Also external is expandable with cheap, fast, SIMMS.
