Now you gone and done it.  You opened a whole can of worms there.  :)

Which pin do you enable?
How does it work with the mnemonics that have 4-byte addressing modes
since the 4th byte of these mnemonis refer to a bank number?
Doesn't Merlin 816 rely on GSOS to load and save files or use the ROM
tools built into a IIGS to be able to run?
Would you happen to have a list of programs that can run in 16 bit
mode on a IIc?

Or better yet.  Do you have a cool website that explains all and gives
the answers to my questions?

Oh, how I yearn for your knowledge.   :))))
