Hey, I was wondering, since some RAM pages are blank and are used
especially for assembly execution only, is it possible to take say 2 of
those pages and compress RAM into the ROM?  Basically, realocate the way
the OS accesses user memory to give it 16-32 more K in RAM storage, but
having the VAT access those two ROM pages when it brings up the memory
screen.  I have no interest in trying to do this, but I was just
wondering it it was theoretically possible, it's a concept kinda likes
Kirk's chmasc.
