I do own a hades with 64mb EDO-Ram, but this is still no real possibility,
I do own that much Ram (relative, for Atari) because of scanning and
working with images, it is definitely no solution for me to have 2 times
the ram I really need.
Besides that: with the third big program the problem would come back....
