I called Micronics and asked why and was told it involved the decoding on the simms themselves. I also have a GW 66v and am now considering whether to add 8 mb or 16 mb. Unfortunatly, windows only supports 16 mb, so the extra 8 mb above 16 may be wasted. But it might be useful with windows-nt or some flavor of unix.
