That is correct, the Micronics MB only supports 4 and 16 mb simms.
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. Who knows??????
