	National's large memory boards will "work" regardless of the
operating system.  However, initially only A/UX will be able to take
advantage of them.  The toolbox memory manager won't know about them
although I would assume that will be fixed "real soon now"  You can
certainaly expect (NOTE: SPECULATION ONLY!!!!!!!) to see a raft of
programs to allow the memory to be used as ram disks, ram cache,
special versions of Excel which can access it, etc.
