I noticed that a couple of days ago in a FutureBASIC manual but couldn't
find a way to crossreference it with anything outside of FB. My
Encyclopedia Mac Rom says it is Only for 256K ROM systems, but I don't
think NetBSD will run on anything before the SE, anyway. It also says
the instruction was included for A/UX support. Sounds pretty promising.
I'm almost sure I've found out how to check the current setting. From
"new low mem": Location $0CB2 -- boolean reflecting current machine MMU
mode. Also, MMUFlutt, $0CB3 -- byte forced by reducing MMUMode to
MMU32bit might be usefull, though I'm not quite sure how.
