View, CA (415) 960-7300 Lines: 15 Does anyone know of any product(s) that allows a Mac II to address more than 8MB of physical RAM? We bought a National Semi 8MB board but found out that it can only be used as a RAM disk under the Mac OS. A/UX would solve our problem but we really would like to be able to address more than 8MB on the motherboard under the Mac OS. I know that if there were chips bigger that the 1 megbit SIMMS, our problem would be solved, but that is not the case. I had heard a rumor of virtual memory support under System 6.0 but have seen nothing so far. We could write our virtual memory manager and swap to disk, but ther must be a better solution. Any help is appreciated. John VV
