Is it positively, absolutely true that a 98700/98710 (Gatorbox) display
engine can NOT be set to have a frame buffer address 0x800000 or 0x900000
when used with a 9000/320 or 9000/350?  This tidbit is taken from the HP
Series 300 Configuration Reference manual, page A-445.  The reason I would
like to have the frame buffer moved is because a 98547 has a frame buffer
running from 0x200000 to 0x3fffff, and the Gatorbox gives you two choices:

             0x200000   0x300000  0x400000
98547 card   |-----------------------|
98700        |------------|
      or                   |---------|

Any suggestions as to how one might get a 98700 and 98547 working together?
