Let's add an extra address line for the I/O. We really need over sixteen million I/O ports... Let's be reasonable here. For a single or small multi-user ( < 10 users) system, you don't really need piles and piles of memory. If you have an application that needs more than 16 megabytes of memory, you probably don't have the processing power to run it in any reasonable time, anyway. Can we get off this argument now? If 16 megabytes isn't enough for you, simply shut up and go buy a Cray. ===================================================================== Curt Sampson ihnp4!alberta!jeff --------------------------------------------------------------------- "It looked like something resembling white marble, which was probably what is was: something resembling white marble."
