[comp.sys.zenith] Z386-20's,25's,33's

I just found an interesting tidbit that some of you folks may find interesting.

According to Zenith's documentation the RAM on the 386 motherboards (20,25, &
33 ) can be expanded to 32MBytes using 8 4MByte SIMMS.

THIS IS NOT TRUE.

I just talked w/ ZDS tech support and the first four SIMM sockets can not
accept 4MByte SIMM's.  Only the last four can.  So you can really ony put
20Mbytes on the motherboard ( 4 - 1M SIMM's and 4 - 4M SIMM's ).

Since the 4Mbyte SIMM's that Zenith uses are finally coming down to a reasonable
level I thought more folks may be running into this problem.
