I don't want to be a meanie, but I have to mention somewhere along here that
non-autoconfig boards that try to flow extra memory into all the nooks and
crannies of the Amiga address space are not supported and will probably be
broken as we make normal evolutionary changes on future Amiga models.

I don't expect this statment to keep people from persuing such notions, but
you have been warned.  Hopefully any such product will have a little DIP
switch that enables/disables each category or block of expansion memory.
