So you claim to have a patent or copyright on basic MMU technology?
Seems pretty unlikely to me....
Besides, I would then counter sue you.  I thought of something similar
a year ago that would allow kick start roms to be put in a cartridge
( a la 2600 ) and let you plug in whatever version you wanted and switch
to it on the fly....  no case opening or chip switching required.

Soooooo, tthhhpppt!!!! to you. 

Maybe your (SERIOUSLY) should switch to a few smileys..... :)
