Ever heard of bank-switching?  Your massive data needs can be easily
handled this way, because you don't need simultaneous access to all
that data.  Your application is specific (and simple) enough that you
can afford to call a subroutine to fetch each sample from RAM that's
not directly in your address space.  No problem.  A similar technique was
used in many external print spoolers, which had 8048's in them.  These
only can directly address something like 2K of memory (my memory's
fading fast), but these used clever bit-banging techniques on DRAMs
connected to I/O ports to store hundreds of K of data.

Engineering Rule #3b:  Work smart, not hard.
