Nothing's impossible, I guess; but the Mac Plus ROMs start at 0x400000
(4 Meg to humans), so unless the accelerator includes a new ROM set
(highly unlikely) you'll have a hard time exploiting more than 4Mb.

That's not to say there isn't some hack to do the job, but don't expect
any Microsoft products to run :-)
