If you have a load of ROM that can also be paged in, then it might be 
quite interesting. It would get past the vic being hard coded to see 
character rom at magic addresses.

Obviously you'd want to port 3-in-1 software from the plus 4.

You'd lose $00/$01 being able to page in/out the kernal and basic, but 
you probably want a new set of roms that knows about the extra ram anyway.
