This is already being done in Bernie, the IIgs emulator. They haven't
been able to access bank $DF - this seems to be in use by the system
in some way or another - but it's possible to use all the other
banks, from 00 to DE, and the software I've tried all work without
showing any signs of incompatibility. So no problem there.
If you want to know what it takes to have the Memory Manager be
14MB-aware, contact Andre Horstmann.
