Yea, i thought about adding 32-bit RAM past the end of the 16MB bus. Problem is, the ROM obviously isnt 32-bit clean so i dunno how well it would handle a number past 16MB, it obviously wouldnt. So even if I did patch the OS with an extension to include RAM located past the 24-bit address space.
it would probably barf.
the Portable's ROM is the macintosh SE rom with portable specific addressing and drivers. Such as the .Backlight, etc..
I guess another idea is just like what was mentioned before, Add a GB of RAM, and use it only for a RAM Disk, put a coin cell battery on it so technically it becomes a "pseudo-physical" disk at that point. So in theory, what we have here is an SSD.
But eh now we are getting all convoluted.
First things first, get the RAM boards produced and sold. Right now there really doesnt seem to be a whole lot of interest in the RAM, but I havent extended the market to ebay either.
Once those are sold, i will start work on the 020/030. Start off simple. clock doubled CPU/FPU only for now.
