I had my Mac II up and running A/UX with 17Mb of RAM in the SIM sockets a
few months ago (it could have been 20MB if I'd played more games juggling
SIMs :-) - it runs just nicely thank you with 10Mb of disk cache!. A/UX seems
to do the correct things about sizing memory when it boots (congrats A/UX
folks!) ... But in order to get the MacOS up to boot A/UX we had to do a
ROM swap .... seems that the MacOS can't handle more than 8Mb of memory
(I guess no one was in a position to test it when they were doing the
ROMs - c'est la vie). Also the MacOS is in a different position with the
way in which it lays out its memory (it has only room for 8Mb or RAM) so
there are probably other problems that aren't obvious from first glance.

My guess would be that they have wixed this problem in the ROM version that
is shipped with the IIx. Now will there be an upgrade available? 4Mb RAM
chips are sampling NOW .....
