How about writing some kind of device driver that would recognise the
additional RAM and use it as another RAM: disk?  Sort of like the memory
expansion boxes that are around for the C64/128 line (sorry, I forgot the
part #).

Of course, this is a purely academic interest on my part, as I am still working
to get across the A500/1Meg barrier. :(
