 without an external device.  of course, you could only use the extra
 memory in specially written asm programs, but it'd still be kinda nifty.

hmmmm... Would it be possible to use that like archive RAM? You have a little 
app that can copy files to the extra chip, and copy them back when you want 
to use them?
