[comp.sys.dec] More than 24 Megabytes in DECStation 3100

Is it possible to put more than 24 Megabytes into a 3100 by using
SIMMS with 4 megabit chips?

The DS3100 and DS2100 won't recognize more than 24MB of physical
memory.  However, using SIMMs based on 4Mb chips will reduce the
number of components, and theoretically reduce the number of failures.
