	Yep... AE "cheated", and then had boards that were incompatible with
the ROM 03 machines.

	Well, anything "could've" been designed better, if more resources were
allocated for the design. However, do _you_ need more than 4Mb? Does anyone
you know need more than 4Mb? I had 4Mb in my IIgs for awhile, and it was nice,
but 2Mb is quite sufficient, and I have above average memory requirements...

	Yeah, but if I wanted to I could stick 32Mb of RAM into my IIci. I
don't know why I would want to, but I could order tonight and install it
tomorrow (if I had roughly $4000 to spend)...
