That's a project for Dave! A replacement MMU! Damn! If I had the Ca$h I'd
do it now:  Through something like the Mosis Service till I get good
silicon or maybe a Semi-custom solution through one of the major vendors.

You know, Dave could add hardware memory protection, bank switching,
additional ROM space, etc, unless he feels he can use the onboard MMU
of the '030.  Does the TT's OS take advantage of this guy, or does
the OS simply pretend its not got an MMU? I dunno.

Think about it!
