Eeewww, groooossss! That sounds sick. I'm not doubting you, I'm just
wondering why Apple would do this?

The LCII has four banks of ram - one vram, two dram on the MB, and the SIMM
sockets. I'd be real tempted to give each bank 8MB of space, that is, the size
that the largest one requires. Then use the MMU to rearrange them. Why not?
