In our case the 3/80 had 12M. wc did >accuratly return the byte size of /dev/mem on our other machines. The 3/80 and 4/60 have non-contiguous physical memory banks. This is necessary to allow use of either 1M or 4M SIMMs. To find out how much memory is installed in your system, grep for the "mem =" line in /var/adm/messages.
