Bernie to the Rescue has an option to allow the emulated IIgs system to have
up to 14MB of RAM. The OS and programs will happily use this memory. I think
the 8MB restriction in a real GS is only in the hardware, not the firmware,
since even the CDA control panel sees the entire memory and will let you set
up a RAM disk larger than 8MB.
