[Coco] any interest in an 8MB ram card for COCO3?

[Stephen Adolph]

The idea would be to do something similar to the big memory cards done
before, like cocozilla or whatever.    The difference is that no
refresh is needed.

If Nitros-9 can only see 2 MB, is there much point in doing more?
Seemed to me that the bytes for control were available - we could
extend Nitros-9 to address more memory could we (I mean the nitros-9
team) not?
