I had a quick look at what documentation I could find for faucc online, but I couldn't find any mention of memory model support, which is a requirement for us, as we don't want to jump through hoops to have more than 64K of BIOS code. I may have missed this of course - do you have any more information? (Note that I am not actually responsible for our BIOS code, I am just passing on what I know.)
