All I can do is remind everyone that there was one example where the MP2x00
had a whopping 11MB of Internal Flash.

I'd suggest that it actually might be possible but there may be a limit on
what is seen by the Newton OS or usable.
Of course I'm not technically inclined to give advise in these matters - but
can at least point to the photo because there was a DVT that a more internal
flash than the production or other DVT units that we are aware of...
