[Q: How to use diskspace as additional memory?]
How do you want to handle page faults (or similar)? The 68000 has a bug
there and cannot continue exactly at the point the missing data got it!

With a 68010 it'd work, but then you have the different stack-allocation
at traps...

That's why TOS has to be patched to work with a 68020 (PAK-68) and some
programs won't work anymore - even some which don't do illegal things...

It should work on a TT.

Greetings,
				RIPLEY
