Craig,
Really bad hack is my opinion, one that I'll stand by. The trap door RAM
expansion products hard code themselves into the autoconfig memory space
_without_ autoconfiguring. This means that the system has no way of knowing
where to put any additional devices if they are added on. (…all bets are
off…) Chances are that there _will_ be a conflict under such
circumstances.
A hack by my definition is a product that does not install in a system
defined manner. I sell products that fit that description when there is no
other way to provide the functionality. A bad hack is one that ignores
system conventions when a supportable method exists.
