* Rumor has it that 4.2 can handle multiple memory-controllers, but that 4.1 can't...if this is the case, can someone explain how things like interleaving and increase of main-memory past an initial "upper-bound" are handled? Please reply by email unless you feel it's of netwide interest... Thanks, doug <..!allegra!eosp1!elias>

I think dispelling this is of general interest: Both 4.1BSD and 4.2BSD handled the old 16K-chip memory controllers properly, whether you had one or several of them. Neither version of UNIX will report errors properly on the newer 64K-chip version of the memory controller, but the fixes aren't all that difficult.
