Bill - 

I used to have one of those - I think 8 megs was the top end.  As I
recall, the specs demanded 1x9 SIMMS, but I know I used 1x8's.
There was only one switch on the MB, with 10 toggles: 

1 - first 640 - always ON
2 and 3 both OFF for SIMMS, on for DIPS
4 thru 7 were FS and 0WS:
4 - ON
5 - OFF
6 - ON
7 - OFF
8 thru 10 control RAM size: (Bank 0-1 should be empty to run SIMMS)
Switches:		8	9	10
Slot 1 to 2		ON	ON	ON
Slot 1 to 4		ON 	ON	OFF
Slot 1 to 6		ON	OFF	ON
Slot 1 to 8		ON	OFF	OFF

I spent alot of time fooling around with this baby, so if there's
anything else you need to know, just e-mail...
