Any card that wanted to capture _all_ of memory has to have some
on-board memory, since it's impossible to communicate with the
operator of the Apple without changing Apple memory in some way--
the screen memory comes immediately to mind.  And a number of
programs put critical code/data in screen memory while running just
to thwart simple IRQ attacks.
