Well, if you're looking for a Switcher-type program, go for SoftSwitch by
Roger Wagner.  It allows you to load in and switch between as many ProDOS8
programs as your memory will allow.
 
However, I believe that SoftSwitch may be only in Apple IIgs form...I'll check
on it.

Yup, SoftSwitch only exists on the IIgs.  It allows you to run
I think up to 9 128K applications and switch between them.

What about when the ASIC 20-MHz 65816 appears? 8^)

I believe that ASIC Enterprises' chip is known as the AE65C816 or some close
variant of that...
