that limit is done and gone no?  Tormod's spinx card now can map near 64k
in and out.  I assume it would be trivial now-a-days to add more granular
banking if one desired, or a crap ton of banked memory.

Actually putting any such scheme to use software-wise would be probably
more work than the hardware involved.

it was limited to 32k mapping blocks.  This applied to the PBJ 128k & 256k
expansions too.  That said; RAM Disks really did speed up many processes.
