The problem occurs when a piece of 24 bit software attempts to use the extra byte for something else like a flag to indicate that the resource is not yet loaded into real memory. Remember that the computer is 32 bits wide, or at least 2 X 16 wide. It was just the memory bus that ignored those 8 high order bits. Early Apple ROMs used that trick and were not 32 bit clean. Early software could do it too. As always Apple's rules were a good thing to abide by. Games were famous for not doing so. -- -->The Creator is the God who provided the void and the rules that matter and energy must live by in order to exist in it.
