Ah...question answered.  My heart greives for all those carts.
Anyone have a new cart case design read to go?  Junie?  Weren't you
working on this?  (If Junie doesn't read this list, could someone
forward this question?)

That's 128 bytes in addition to the regular RIOT RAM.  So you have a
total of 256 bytes of RAM in the system.  But recall that Superchip
RAM is not zero page.  So if you're counting on saving a cycle on RAM
accesses, it doesn't help.  But then again...surely someone could find
a use for another 128 bytes of "slow" RAM.  :P
