I'm not sure of all the details, but I'm assuming that you have a lot of
static data.  Two solutions come to mind:  (1) keep the data in a file,
allocate a chip array, initialize from the file.  (2) create a static
data segment, forcing everything into chip, then LoadSeg() it.  Neither
solution is very elegant.  Compilers need another storage class.
