Oh, come on!  Actually this feature of the High-Speed SCSI Card was
a deliberate AID to owners of memory cards such as the OctoRAM, not
as you imply something that gets in the way.  In fact, any IIGS RAM

was thoughtful of MattG to help out those of us who nonetheless have
configured our systems with 8MB of RAM.
