What really kills me is that there doesn't seem to be any sane reason
for not connecting that line.  Even the old 430TX chipset can handle
at least 1MB of ROM.  So I don't understand why mobo manufacturers
aren't connecting the high address bits.  I bet _somewhere_ there is a
motherboard that has them connected.  I don't have a clue how you'd
track one down, though.
