Adding demand paging to AmigaDOS won't be too easy – it looks to me like there needs to be a new memory request flag "MEMF_VIRTUAL" added to memory allocations to make this a comparatively doable task. With the present setup, I don't think it is possible to do address trapping in things like interrupts and have them serviced by a disk-based virtual memory mapper. There are some things that could be added to ADOS fairly easily to give most of the benifits of memory protection without much re-engineering, though.
