IIRC, TOS3 tests for the presence of blitter hardware & will use it if present. 
Of course, real Atari blitter hardware only uses 24 bit addressing.  So I think 
that if real blitter hardware was present on a TT with TT-RAM, TOS3 would 
probably crash fairly quickly.

However, blitter support in Hatari uses 32 bits if the address space is 32 
bits, so it might actually work OK.  Whether it's a good idea is of course up 
to the Hatari developers.
