there (except maybe a RAM disk) that can *use* 1MB?
There were various packages specific to the Amstrad PCW that could make
use of the up to 2Mb it could take. There were task switchers like Network
(which allowed switching between multiple CP/M programs) and Flipper (which
allowed switching between multiple operating systems). The DTP package
MicroDesign used the memory to store the page it was working on. Then
there's my contributon: ZXZVM runs an Infocom Z-Code game, using the extra
memory to store the game file and the up to 64k of RAM that the virtual
machine requires.
