There is no such hardware limitation.

In the MacII there was a problem with some handshake line violating a later

some later Mac's (the IIsi?) they got cheap about building address decoding
logic.

AFAIK the IIcs == IIci and can address 128MB of memory (once you fix the
dirty ROM's that is).  Perhaps if you used a different version of Mode32?

Signature failed Preliminary Design Review.
Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated.
