Hi all,
in order to run as smoothly as possible netbsd, I've just
upgraded the memory of my mVaxII, as I substituted a
m7608 4mb board (in row 3) with a m7609 8mb board, and so I
obtained 12mb of ram, here you can see the resulting layout of
the adapters:

   +---
 Q |  1 ka630
 / |  2 m7608 (4 mb)
CD |  3 m7609 (8 mb)
   |  4 m7516 (deqna adap.)
   +---
 Q |  5 m3107 - m7546 (serial + tk50 adap.)
 / |  6 m7555 (rd53 adap.)
 Q .
   .

I am wondering if it could be possible to obtain 16mb of memory
by reinstalling the m7608 were it was originally, that is in row
3, to install m7609 in row 4 and shifting by one place all the
remaining adapters.
This could be the result:

   |  4 m7609 (8 mb)

   |  5 m7516 (deqna adap.)
 Q |  6 m3107 - m7546 (serial + tk50 adap.)
 / |  7 m7555 (rd53 adap.)

Thanks in advance for your advices.
