obviously the mem access will be much slower due the Zorro bus. (FastLane RAM bus is still a 32 bit)

Here the problem is to find 16MB 30 pins SIMMS, at a "human" price!

CSPPC memory have an higher proirity hence will be used first.

CSPPC= pri 40
mem om mobo= pri 30

pri -10 for ChipRAM

and IIRC Zorro2 is -30 or so. (i'm on MOS for PowerUP now...i'll check on AmigaOS)

Note- under MOS for PowerUP, 16Bit Z2 mem is not seen at all
