Nope, so sorry.  The memory for the Opus cards is whatever is attached
to the Opus card, and not from the AT-bus connected memory.  Juet before
they killed off the 32k based models, opus came out with a
daughter-board option to give 8 mbytes of memory to the series.  They
might have a few hanging around still.
