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.
