The ROM starts at the 8 meg mark. I guess A/UX gets around this by using the PMMU to remap it. This implies that the Mac OS won't be able to cope until it has PMMU support (which will be a great day for us developers), and of course you'll need to buy a 68851 to have more than 8 megabytes. -- Tim Maroney, Consultant, Eclectic Software, sun!hoptoad!tim "Conversion, fastidious Goddess, loves blood better than brick, and feasts most subtly on the human will." - Virginia Woolf, "Mrs. Dalloway"
