Actually, if you consider all of your ROM Kernel libraries running out of 32
bit, 14.3 MHz memory rather than 16 bit, 7.16 MHZ memory, a throughput increase
(hint -- try it and you will), then even the PMMU will help you when running
the Amiga OS.

Not sure if the '881 is optional or required.  The RAM configurations are 2Meg and
4Meg.

Starts to make sense, then, eh?
