I don't know all those cards, but these are cpu+ram combo so you can do 
"what you want" with the amount of ram since they use they own cpu and 
their own bus.

I was refering to the amount of RAM addressable by the genuine cpu of an 
Atari machine, in that case 24 bits is enough.

There so much do to to make the Falcon work, that I think we can save 
this for latter :)
