	Does anyone know if RONSAT is planning to make a version of STonehenge
that uses the 1 meg ram chips?? It would be nice to have a 4 or even 8 meg
version!! That would make one nice RAMDISK!! Especially if it is battery backed
up, so that you don't lose memory between bootups!! Heck, with an 8 meg Ramdisk,
I could put my entire Mark Williams C compiler and really fly!!!
