Recently I was browsing thu an ST magazine, Reset to be specific and I
noticed an ad for a product by Alpha Systems called Megadisk. It is one
megabyte of ram that plugs into the cartridge port.
But according to the infamous Abacus book ST Internals, (p96) writing
to this address creates a bus error. They tried putting a ram disk in
the port but without sucess.
How did Alpha get around this so that the Megadisk would work with
out creating bus errors?
