The Rocket 33 and Second Stage processors have MMU, but the problem is
support on boot-up. The boards (equivalent computers right?) boot with NO
ABILITY to use VM= No PMMU. even though the CPU actually has a PMMU, there
is no way to pass the instructions across what ever bus there is.
My read on this: Apple always restricted ROMs right?
Well the ROMS are still on the Motherboards, and the cards are in NuBus.
Can PMMU instructions be passed? maybe, maybe not. (there is no such thing
as a ROM image being loaded into the 1990-era Init the RocketShare and Ware
are using.)
that is our problem. maybe we could patch? ("Wish I Were" does not get
too far, forcing a Gestalt Selector for MMU)
