How about memory plugged into one of the seven "normal" slots? Would GS/OS recognize that as a RAM disk? For example, a card could be built which supports 1- and 4-meg SIMM's, but into a bus slot instead of the memory expansion slot. With perhaps a GS/OS driver, it could be used as a large RAM disk. Add a battery-backup option, and you can get 32 megs of fast, internal storage (for big $$$, obviously). Wasn't Harris Labs going to do something like this?
