Yikes!  This means, I suppose that the Next only has 8k of RAM reserved
for the 56000 up?  Are there any other memory resources that the 56000
has access to (like shared memory, etc.).  The 56000 board I built has
64Kx24bits available for it to use.  I know that 64k is the maximum for
that processor without doing bankswitching.  Last question- could someone
tell me how fast the RAM that's dedicated to the 56000 in the NEXT is?
Perhaps 35ns?

thank you.  thank you.
If you respond, you can e-mail direct or to comp.sys.next, whichever you
prefer.
