There is?? wow.  I actually hadnt thought of this before (smacking self),
but there IS always the put-it-between-the-accelerator-and-its-cpu solution. 
How exactly DOES the IIGS determine how much ram it has? a power-up test? 
If so, one could simply toss on some highspeed ram on this memory connector
and convince the accelerator to not slow down for ram accesses
