<Out of interest, what would a N* want with 256K anyway? Presumably,

It ran NSdos which was pretty lightweight. and didn't care much about
how much ram there was. It was possible to run multiuser NSdos.

CP/M was commonly ported to it and 2.2 could be banked if you weren't
faint of hear and CPM-3 was designed for banked operation. MPM was a
multiuser cpm that also could use banked ram while running multiple
users.

Mine has 128k in it at current, running CP/M-2 banked.
