   it depends on what cpu is used, z80 is true 8bit only, but as i remember it   
   have 16bit internal registers, that cant be used for more memory then 64k   
      
   if it was v20 cpu it have mmu to handle up to yes 1Mb :)   
      
   commodore 128d have mmu aswell, it was just never maked the 1024K extension   
   board to upgrade it, it colledged with the 128K internal mem, so it would have   
   to be 768k extension board hardware ram mapped with mmu block/banks with 64k   
   pages   
      
   would that be a dream machine ?, then bill could say no one needs more memory   
   then 1M with dos 1.0 :)

   cpm 86 ?, i still not seen one of them on facebook, only so far z80 mbc, v20   
   mbc, 68k mbc is easy to find prints for now, but it could be nice to make cpm   
   86 mbc aswell   
      
   dream would had being if cpm was 32bit aswell, i remember acorn bbc, had a 2nd   
   board computer with the pipe connection, that was very expansive board at that   
   time, and zx80 was very checp killing the ground for new models with 32bit   
      
   had computers being 32bit in the first place we would not have to live with   
   ascii porn :)
