The    A2000 comes with 1MB soldered onto the mobo, and thats all it can take without adding cards.

Zorro2-cards with RAM-sockects come in all shapes and sizes.

Pure RAM-cards taking single DIL-chips, SIPPs, 9-bit-SIMMs, GVP-SIMMs.
ComboCards (with HD-controller) takeing some of the above or even ZIP-chips.

8MB is the max you will get that way and you must subtract the RAM on the GFX-card from that.

But for CGX/P96 you will also need an accel and those come with differing sizes and kinds of RAM.

Worst offenders : Cards that only take 4MB, steal it from the Z2-address-space and have the chips soldered in like  C= A2620/A2630.

Best case : Cards allowing up to 128mb in standard  PS2-SIMMs like the Blizzard 2040/2060.

Offcourse it all depends on your budget  :-D
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
