Would it be practical and/or desirable for 8M of 16-bit RAM to be used as 
a swap RAM disk? It might be slow compared to 32-bit RAM, but I would 
think it would be better than swapping to disk, if there was enough room. 
I ask because I too have 8Mb of 16-bit RAM, and I'd rather it enhanced my 
NetBSD system instead of encumbering it.
