Comet,
  Do you have the Tandy PDD?  You can assemble m/l directly from the disk using
the ROM2/Cleuseau.  The ROM2/Cleuseau will look for "include" files on disk and
assemble them directly from there. That avoids having to keep all the files in
RAM and having to reload all the components of the project if the code blows
up.

  The XR4 and the extRAM do work in tandem with the RAMPAC.  The RAMPAK uses
port addresses 129 and 131.  The XR4 uses port 128 for bank selection and write
protection.  The extRAM doesn't use the ports.  With extRAM, you could store an
image of the ROM2/Cleuseau in the RAMPAC and load the image into the extRAM
when you want to use ROM2/Cleuseau.  The ROM2/Cleuseau could also run out of
one bank of the XR4, leaving 3 banks free for other ROM images or RAM data.
