 TOPIC -----------------------------------------------------------

 If RAM is added to the Apple IIGS in slot(s) 1-7 instead of the expansion
 slot -- with an Apple memory card, for instance -- will it be contiguous
 RAM?

 DISCUSSION -------------------------------------------------------

 It depends on the memory board used.  The Apple II Memory Expansion card will
 not be used as contiguous RAM, but can be used as a RAM disk (in fact, both
 GS/OS and ProDOS automatically make it a RAM disk at startup).

 Some other manufacturers make memory boards that reside in an "other" slot and
 maps to contiguous RAM space.
