People have mentioned that the memory manager would have problems with an
"ObeseMac" ( >0.5 MB) because of the gap created by the hardware addresses.
I think that will will see usable 1 or 2 MB Macs as soon as someone rewrites the
memory manager to overlook this problem. Remember that any routine in the Rom
can be replaced by changing its trap vector to point to your own code.
