- IMHO, the Falcon's '030 has 32 Bit memory access,
- (with a 24-bit adress-bus)
- This would explain the three standard RAM sizes :
-
- Width x Chipsize = Total RAM
- 32 x 256-Kbit = 1 MB
- 32 x 1-Mbit = 4 MB
- 32 x 4-Mbit = 16 MB (max for 24 Adress lines)
-
- BTW : *EXPANSION SLOT* and VIDEO (SHIFTER,BLITTER)
- have 16-Bit access only !
