Which off-course has nothing to do with 604/603, and all to do with the fact
that the blizz was developed after the PS/2-SIMM-spec was upped with
64 and 128MB modules,while the CS was done before.

Add to that,that a 604 will only work at full speed when it has the simms
in pairs (for 64bit-access).

@Eddie
....and the RAM-limit for the A1200-trapdoor is ?


8 MB !!!  :-P

More RAM is possuble, it is just invisible for the mobo and Z3-slots, which is
only a prob with DMA-cards (like Fastlane/4091).

Seems you misunderstoodmy 1st post.
64/128mb weren't just not delievered, their pin-out hadn't been defined yet.

They probraly share the pin-out with very small modules not in use by that
time (like 1 or 2mb),but there was just no way for P5 to know that at the time they
desingned the CS-PPC-PCB.
