On top of what Lemmink wrote:

I suspect that this is the same A2500 which has the A2286-card in it ?

The PC-card will allocate a full 2MB piece of address-space, while only needing 128KB of it. Problem is that the Zorro-IO-space won't allow more than 64K per card, and the RAM-space can only be allocated in 2MB-chunks.

So 6MB fast (4 on A2630, 2 on the SCSI) and 1MB chip (on the mobo) is as far as you will get.

Unless ofcourse you replace the A2630 with something more modern  :-P
1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else
