Well, the self-test rom routine passes and I can confirm that general
stuff still works -- I'm sure that any software looking for the ram
might get confused.  It would be nice to mod the box to support more
ram.  What does that entail?  Piggy-backing the MMU and CPU or
something?  I understand the basics of this but my hardware skills are
just good enough to summon magic smoke.  :-D  Anyway, I'm just waiting
in anticipation of SmartPortVHD so I can unleash my drive-less //gs
and this //c.
