This probably is a moot point, as the motherboard (particulary the FPI
or CYA chip) doesn't support more than 8 MB, and neither does the Memory
Manager toolset.

The TransWarp is likely to have problems with RAM above 8MB, because it
has its own memory mapped into the higher banks (its CDA and software
interfaces are somewhere around bank $D0 if I remember right).

The ZIP GS has no memory of its own, so it might work, but it probably
has built-in definitions of how to deal with each range of banks, and
may not handle $80-$DF in a sensible way.
