Brad: 
  If you do decide to make the lucas memory autoconfig, how about putting
a register bit in there somewhere that will disable the autoconfig 
sequence the next time the computer is rebooted. This would seem to me
to solve all the problems associated with the choices between autoconfig
and addmem aproaches (besides the obvious one of having to put auotconfig
logic on the board). I wish I had a way to turn off my Starboard memory
with a simple register write like that.  On another note, can you tell me
why you want to use 1meg Dram chips as opposed to 256K chips? I haven't
looked at the design VS. cost tradeoffs so maybe I am missing something
obvious. The Lucas board is exciting, keep em coming!
