Amiga OS 4.1 Classic generically will scan for Zorro 3 memory and use it as swap memory. So as long as the Zorro 3 memory card conforms to proper specs, in theory any Zorro 3 memory card (including WinUAE which can add Zorro 3 memory!) will work.  During OS 4.1 Classic testing we only had ZorRAM and a DKB 3128 for testing so that was all that was mentioned.  I don't think the BigRAM was available yet.

Doesnt one of them work with Z2 and the other only z3? Thats a big deal I think.


Well, the maximum you can get on Z2 is 8MB....vs 256MB for a BigRAM or ZorRAM (zorro 3)....so...in the context of OS4 8MB is peanuts :).  It was discussed during development but not worth it for only 8MB.
