	I believe the reason behind the 64Kx4 RAMs is most likely because
it was originally designed for ROM in that region and they just got some
ROM compatible RAM chips instead of retooling for 8 256Kbit chips.  This
would also make a good case for the future ROM upgrade of "old" Amigas.
Hopefully ATARI took this approach too.
	Keep in mind that this is entirely speculation on my part.  I
have no sources to confirm or deny this.  Maybe someone could look at
an Amiga schematic for this.
