That, I wouldn't know about for sure, though I'd hope it would enumerate and
use whatever banks are available.  I had just the 1 MB that could be
installed on the card, and it saw most of that.  (I say "most" because I had
a desktop size somewhere in the neighborhood of 750-800K.  That would be
consistent with using just the lower 48K of  each bank and leaving the
16K in the ROM/language-card area alone, since there are more hoops to jump
through to access it.)
