How likely is the master pointer format to change?  Well we changed to a
32 bit address bus architecture a couple years back.  That was necessary
to break past the 8M RAM barrier (in our machines, your mileage may
vary).  Crash, crash, crash!!!  When Mac grows up, either master
pointers will have to change, or something icky like bank switching will
have to happen (no, no!!  I'll even take an 80x86 instead!!)
