	The "popping" into 32 bit ram is done by hardware on the mega midget
	racer ( unless CSA's president lied to our users group about 3 months
	ago). They (CSA) were bragging that they had the only board on the
	market that could use these reduced function 68ec030 chips due to
	the fact that their hardware automatically transferred the Prom
	image to the on-board FAST, 32 bit, static ram upon reset/power-up.

	So, you may lose unix and OTHER MMU functions, but you still have
	Prom code (I.E. kickstart) running in fast 32 bit memory.
