-*-Actually, I think the Z80 processor can only directly handle 64k of 
-*-RAM/ROM (which is why the ROM has multiple pages).  The 8mb of 
-*-memory (or 32k/ 64k/128k/256k/512k/1mb/2mb/4mb or whatever) will act 
-*-somewhat like a hard disk.  Programs cannot be run directly from it, 
-*-they must be copied to memory first,  and data must be read or 
-*-written a byte at a time.


	Yeah, Barry was explaining this to me...  This is a worthwhile
thing as far as I am concearned, but I have one other question, will this
be inside the calc or like on the link port?
