Well, you could use AddMem, which can be found lurking on old
developers' disks, or old memory vendors' disks.
There's also an Exec function:
AddMemList (size, attributes, pri, base, name)
LONG size; /* Size in bytes of the memory reigon. */
LONG attributes; /* Memory attributes (MEMF_FAST, etc.). */
LONG pri; /* Priority in the memory list (usually 0). */
APTR base; /* Base address of the memory reigon. */
char *name; /* Name (usually NULL) */
