The real problem - on OS4.0 classic is the lack of ram.  Sure you can get by OK by limiting your open programs, but the 128MB limitation on the Cyberstorm PPC does tend to hurt after awhile.  Blizzard users are lucky and can live in the luxury of 256MB ram...not so for us CS PPC users :-)  But OS 4.0 is still fun to use, even in 128MB.  You can still browse the web, listen to internet radio, go on IRC, FTP, etc...

:)

I think You forget about FastLaneZ3 cards with RAM. I have FastLaneZ3 v2.4 card and I have extra 32MB 60ns more memory on OS3.9. 3 days ago I ordered more simms RAM  with 96MB. So in near future I'll have 128+128 = 256MB on My A4000D. I know that RAM on FastLaneZ3 card i slower from CSPPC memory but it is still much faster from swap file. If OS4 developers could add support for this card, They should do. I agree that Hyperion should add support for swap memory for Classic users especially.

which brings me to the question:Is it possible to add support for more ram than 256mbytes?I suppose a 4000 could have more ram than that (not connected to the cyberstorm though)

I'm positive it is. If everything will be fine when I add a new RAM to my FastLaneZ3, I have a plan to buy next 128MB SIMM RAM 60ns. Then I see what happen next.
In the doc. for FastLaneZ3 is written it can handle up to 256MB RAM. So if everything will be fine working on OS3.9 it also could on OS4 when someone will add support for this card. I could do beta tests if any OS4 developer will try to write support :)
