I don't remember AE making a card that could hold 8 MB.  The GSRam Plus held 6
MB and had a connector that allowed you to piggyback another card onto it to
get up to 8MB.

Also, if I recall, it wasn't fully DMA compatable past a certain amount of RAM
so you couldn't run an Apple High Speed card (nor a RAMFast, I think) with DMA
turned on.
