Does anyone know how much RAM AmigaOS v1.3 can register?

I think there is no limit for RAM size, as long as there is a RAM expansion card, your good and wont have to worry about the RAM size.

Hold on now.  If you add memory to the Sidecard slot, then the limits 8 meg (that is, if it's 16-bit like ZII, and I belive that it is), but that's no fault of 1.3, just the Bus.

I think it can register as much as you can throw at it.  I seem to recall booting my 4000 with a 1.3 rom through a program like 'TUDE and tossing in a 1.3 workbench disk and seeing the accurate 66 megs free or so.  (64 fast, 2 chip)  Pretty impressive foresight.  (Of course, I couldn't read my IDE controller in 1.3, but hey...)
