- I know it's possible to do because I have a 3/80 with 32 MB. I also know
- there is a newer motherboard revision that supports this. If you have the
- machine under maintenance, then you could probably get them to put the
- latest board in and go.
-
- If you can't find anyone else who knows the exact board rev, and you need it
- then send me e-mail and I'll find that machine (I *think* it's in a lab
- somewhere) and read the board rev off for you.
