I have been told that the reason the 102 is limited to separate banks of 32K has to do with its ROM being unable to handle anything larger for all sorts of computer-type reasons. My question is this, excusing my ignorance, would it not be possible to replace the 102's present 24&8K RAM chips with, say, a couple of 128K RAM chips and then access this memory contiguously (is this spelled right?) by replacing the option ROM with a new operating system chip that completely bypasses the 102's built in ROM and runs the 102 as if it WERE that ROM. Maybe we could add a TPDD access program and a couple of other things. -Barry.
