- No. SIMMs of greater than 4MB capacity are not supported in the A4000.
- The memory controller, RAMSEY, only supports 16MB of motherboard
- FastRAM. This is the same as the A3000 and A3000T. For RAM expansion
- beyond that, you'll have to rely on the ZorroIII bus, which allows
- various sized memory cards up to (only) 1 GigaByte.
-
- As for your precious slots, there are several combo boards available,
- and most Zorro SCSI cards also support extra RAM (Ex: A2091).
-
- Sorry, I can't answer _all_ of your questions.
