Accelarators that stop at 8 MB put it's RAM into the ZII autoconfig adressspace. This adresspace is simply 8 MB in size.
Accelerators that can handle more then 8 MB use an own memmorycontroller that adresses RAM in the 32bit adressspace outside of the autoconfig adresspace. Some controllers can hanlde 32 MB max. some 128 MB and some 256 MB.
Not really interesting, but it`s there.
