Neil, are you still planning on using 32 SIMM sockets? I've been looking,
and I just can't see how you plan to fit that many on the board if you
plan to do an ISA bus as well. 32 sounds a little excessive in any case.
I think we might do better to think about 8, possibly 16. More than 4
sockets is going to mean external memory drivers anyhow, so there's no
real difference between 8 and 16 apart from board space. Perhaps we can
allow 16M SIMMS to be used? With 8 x 16M SIMMS, we get the same 128M
maximum, perfectly reasonable from my point of view <grin>.
