As a matter of interest there was a series of three articles in
Softalk in roughly 1983 that described (and listed) a series of
programs to modify the emulation software. There were several
different modifications given, one allowed fairly full access to all
Apple III features including the extra RAM, though without any sort of
memory manager as I recall. I certainly have the magazines and
articles, though not readily available as they are 650 km away.
