I have a question about memory capacities of 386/486 machines.  I've
noticed that PS/2 M70/80 have a memory limit of 16MB, but the M90/95
has a capacity of 32MB.  What has IBM done to MCA to allow for this?

Is there any way to expand 386 machines to more than 16MB, not
necessarily just PS/2's, but other machines?  The ISA bus is probably
limited to 16MB (80286-based), but are there any EISA-based 386 machines
available without this limit?

Comments on this would be greatly appreciated.
