I would suggest using a 68451 mounted on a daughterboard with the CPU, but
I don't know what kind of conflicts you would run into between the 68451
and the atari MMU chip.  I think with some careful programming and a well
planned hardware interface, this could work and provide memeory protection
for the ST.
