Someone said that "2 DIP sockets won't hold any 200KB
operating system."  Well, you can get 128KB in two sockets
now, using 27512 EPROMs, and mask-programmed ROMs may be
available in twice that density.  So, maybe, by the time
Jack T puts his OS in ROM (if ever, if we want it, etc),
the technology will be there.  mike k
PS: You can always plug in a daughter board with 4 chips.
PPS:  Maybe the OS kernel will be boiled down to 128K.
