Hiperspaces were designed to reside in expanded storage (which was even 
intended to be shared by machines somewhere in a future universe). I think this 
has never been rewritten, but I remember reading that expanded storage is now 
virtualized in central storage.

Which I always thought was a monumental kludge - especially as IBM was peddling 
the corporate myth that "our platform" didn't need 64-bit.
I note the 2.1 manuals (at least) still refer to expanded memory usage for 
hiperspaces. Hmmm.

even have SMF support.
