I thought the limit on RAM was a problem with GS/OS (8 MB max) not
handling as much RAM as the IIgs is capable of addressing (16 MB)?
Wouldn't a >8 MB IIgs require a GS/OS 7, so to speak?
No. Bernie ][ the Rescue, and I think one of the other IIGS emulators,
supports up to 14MB of RAM which works fine with System 6. Apparently
they patch the memory manager so it will look past 8MB for more RAM. The
8MB limit on a real IIGS is imposed by other hardware in the computer.
The CPU and OS can address up to 16MB, but some of that is taken by ROM
and the 128KB of slow RAM.
