.Sorry to burst your bubble, but the maximum amount of RAM (real +
.virtual) is still 8Meg. Since the applications share a single address
.space and the ROMs (in your machine, not Pluses) are addressed
.starting at 8Meg (and going up), the only space for RAM is below 8Meg.
Not true. The 8Mb RAM limit is only under a 24-bit addressing mode. Since
system 7.0 will be running under 32-bit mode, you can have globs of memory.
