The A1200-Mediator only has an 8MB-Zorro-window to the A1200...

One could do some heavy MMU-trick, think about virtual-memory that isn't paged to disk but to VMEM, but I doubt you'll find anybody interested in writing such a hack.

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Huge difference between paging memory from disk and paging memory from bank switched RAM.



Other than it should be faster actually not .......

One could send out memory-pages per serial cable to another computer, would still make no differnce (expect for speed).
