First, I have written a simple program that creates an internal 1 GB
buffer, it opens a device driver then receives commands to transfer
64K blocks of data to and from that device driver.

The program however can be run multiple times so if you have 16
copies running you should in theory be able to access 16 GB thru the
driver.

Stupid idea?  Has it been done before?  If yes, does anyone know
where to find the code?
There's a bit of important background info missing (maybe you mentioned it already in an earlier thread). What kind of driver are you writing and what is it you want to achieve?
