With the 768K disk cache you need to run the built
in video at 640x480 256 colors. Lower color depth
and/or resolution would require a bigger disk cache.
But even though the disk cache keeps programs
out of the built in 1 meg that still allows the
video to be locked out whenever the disk cache is
being read or written. The IIsi RAM Muncher Init
does nothing but "munch up" all of the first meg
not in use by the video. That allows the video
to have exclusive use of Bank A most of the time.
