- 4 Megs of chip ram will blow ZorroII compatibility out the door. Don't expect
- to see it till they remove or modify this in the ZorroIII specs, which will
- also require a new buster and other bits.
- And they won't do it till a decent amount of useful ZorroIII cards exist,
- starting with their own SCSC-II card and mem board to prompt 3rd party
- companies to support it.
