Here's another one of those stupid "A modest proposal" ideas.

Make the area of main memory under control of the custom chips
(chip RAM) be under software control.

Consider. First we had 1/2 M. Now it looks as though we can
all upgrade to 1 M of chip RAM, with the 'next' machine having
4M.

Well, in some cases, you might want ALL of memory to be chip RAM,
while in others you might want just the bare minimum.

How about making it software selectable ?

If this is pysically impossible, put on your best Emily Lattela
voice and go "never minnnd".
