am i willing to give up 1 or 2M of ram to add RAM over 16M?? you betcha.
even if i add 8M of ram and have to sacrifice 2M for bounce buffers, that's
an extra 6M of RAM for the system i wouldn't have had otherwise. (and every
Meg counts, especially when you run Solaris <g>) :)
congratulations on the excellent work.
