I am running System 7.0 from the Golden Master CD.  I have a IIfx with
20 MB, (4 - 1Mb + 4 - 4MB).  However I do not get 16Mb from this thing.
In About This Macintosh the system sees all 20,480K however the system
has taken 15,110K for itself.  This is what happened in 6.0.X.  So where
is this 16 Mb that everyone is talking about?  I realize I lose a meg
for each NuBus slot I use but all I have in there is an 8*24 card and
an APple Ether talk card.  That should still leave me with 14Mb.  So is
this just a dream we are all having or did I miss something?

Pete
