- I /think/ you can get it up to 96MB using 70ns FPM PS/2 SIMMs with  
- parity ( 33bit or 36bit parity doesn't matter - if you use 36bit it  
- only uses 33 anyway )

Actaully, you can do more than that.. I've got one SPARCClassic
that's running with 104MB of RAM (where did those 4MB sticks
come from?) I was surprised when it reported more than 96MB.

It's got a pair of 32MB sticks, a pair of 16MB sticks, and a
pair of 4MB sticks.
