I have heard that the //GS has a 16 meg address space but also that it
breaks memory up in 64K chunks.  What I want to know is can I define
big arrays (~ 1 megabyte) in C or Pascal or will I be restricted to
arrays of size 64K (as you often see in IBM languages)?

Also, supposedly there is a single memory slot board that can be
populated with 1 megabyte using 256K chips and 4 megabytes using 1 meg
chips.  What about this theoretical 8 megabyte limit?  How is that
achieved?  Through 3rd party vendors?
