sounds useful (if I knew what 'scheme' is...)  I have a quick question,
however...  how do you provide a Z-100 with 384K?

common configurations for Z100 RAM sizes --

128K -- original base machine
192K -- later base machine
448K -- 192K on motherboard + (1) Z-205 board
704K -- 192K on motherboard + (2) Z-205 board
960K -- 192K on motherboard + (3) Z-205 board

256K -- arrived as base with 8MHz motherboard
512K -- as above plus 256K additional on motherboard
768K -- as above plus 256K additional on motherboard

note that Z-205 boards were no longer used/recommended by ZDS with the
256/512/768 motherboard...

384K is a common I(nferior) B(ut) M(arketable) P(reposterous) C(ontrivance) RAM
size...

somehow, I think you must actully mean that you have 448K in a Z-100 or that
you have 384K in a Z-150-type machine.
