Re^2: 6502 Perl

I do vaguely recall there were memory boards for the Apple II's that would map another 64K in to some address space (and the IIc had 128K stock I believe (and wp seems to confirm)).

The cake is a lie.

And Commodore tried to promote the C128 with 128k virtual memory which was managed by an MMU. IMHO quite expensive concepts as soon as you need to switch between the banks. I can understand the sentiment that if BASIC could fit in why not a simplified Perl. But this BASIC was implemented in Assembler, and one of Perl's selling point is it's portability thanks to C.
