Hmm, With a screamer Mag disk running around $2-3 a meg and this guy
maybe around $50-100 your application is gonna really have to demand Ultra
High speed disk memory to use it...  Of course with the way memory
prices go pricing could drop,  Also with cheap CPU's capable of addressing
Gigs now, and Terabytes in the near future, I'm not sure of the
viability of this technology,  Would seem more prudent to stuff the RAM
on the BUS (or BUSes) directly.  I dunno.
