Marvel is the new (last?) EV7 platform.  I've got access to an ES47
with 8GB of ram, but I haven't had time to finish my port.  Its been
stalled since this spring due to moving house, and job pressures.

I think you might be able to stuff > 1GB into a 2100, but those
machines are so low performance that they're not worth any effort.
Ditto for CIA based machines.
