A lot of people have mentioned that the Mac II OS can't cope with more
than 8 megabytes of RAM -- here's why.  The ROM starts at the 8 meg
mark.  I guess A/UX gets around this by using the PMMU to remap it.
This implies that the Mac OS won't be able to cope until it has PMMU
support (which will be a great day for us developers), and of course
you'll need to buy a 68851 to have more than 8 megabytes.
