The A2630 daughterboard memory will be outside of the 24 bit addressing range
defined by the 68000 and the Zorro II bus.  So you can have a fully loaded
A2000 with all the expansion, 16 bit, 32 bit, whatever memory that'll fit in
the normal way.  The addition of this daughterboard will give you up to 64
Meg (depending on what any given designer can cram onto a daughterboard sized
PCB).  There wasn't any point in making the daughterboard sit in normal Amiga
memory space.
