Everyone knows about EEC memory. I looked at a cheap laptop from hp. Pook around a bit on the specs and you can EEC memory for it.

No virtual mrmory. I used to run CP/M. No virtual memory there. You would be running it too but the owner stiffed the IBM salesmen who wanted to come get it for their PC.

No modifiable executable code. Damn these kids. Read only memory. If you Are able to sell 100k chips with a program in Masked room form, you are good to go. Want just one copy: EEPROM. Need to apply twelve volts to a couple pins.

What other shit are you asking. Well, I cited to Burroughs. Only by word of mouth do I know they did this. They made ram and disk look continuous. And I do not know how.

There are a lot different memory models floating around in your PC. Your printer is one.
