And David Empson replied:

"It isn't exactly a major patch.  I think that the only change needed is
in MMBootInit, where it does its RAM test: it currently starts at bank
$7F and works backwards.  (There is probably a related piece of code
that may assume that all banks $80-$DF are to be reserved as a single
block.)"

To which I add and suggest: 

Could such a patch be made to the existing GS/OS v6.0.1 to impliment 
the use of 14 MB's on a REAL IIgs (either ROM 3 or ROM 1 or both) ?

Bernie is indeed 14MB-aware.  And, in my use with Gus - it goes even futher
with being 16MB-aware.  I'm wondering on this (if Dave Lyons and the other
authors of Gus are reading this post - PLEASE REPLY)  perhaps
any (and/or all) of you could reply to this post with the method used to allow
this with Gus and tell us if such actually could be applied with a patch to a
REAL IIgs - to allow such with it.  Looking forward to any reply, info or
suggestions anybody cares to offer!

Cheers,
Tom
