How many memory cards onboard?

@Acill

Yeah, the 68000 has an address-space of 16MB, but that allready includes ROM, Chip-Mem, Ranger-Mem, Chipset, IO .....

8MB is the maximum you can put into the Zorro-slots.

Note that gfx, sound and i/o cards may carry some memory either. All together has to fit into the 8MB range.

Sound and IO-cards won't go into the 8MB, but into the Z2-IO-space, where they can allocate chunks of 64K max.

Same goes for a Picasso2 in segmented mode

Bridgeboards need 128k and will therefore take some space out of the 8MB. Problem is that all allocations under 2MB still use up a full 2MB-block.

So adding 5 cards with 512K each would only result in 4MB useable RAM.
