News I heard from a friend who hears some inside gossip at Apple (i.e. it's
probably true, but the news has gone through a few hands first) is that
to use 4mb SIMMs on a Mac II, you will need "the new ROMs."  Now, this could
be just the rev-B ROMs which were necessary to fix the 32-bit mode problems
with the National Semiconductor external RAM cards (actually, Apple's fault,
not NSC) or it could be some new rev-C ROM...

Sorry I can't be more specific, I'll dig up some more info next week and
post a definite yes-or-no.  Under any circumstance, I would assume the IIx
will deal with 4mb SIMMs w/o any problems.
