   Correct, ROM 3s have 1MB on the motherboard. 256K more is more ram
for larger documents, addons, etc. If it's available, might as well
use it, especially as with System 6, the OS finally gets usable at
about 1.25MB ram. 1.5MB total is livable, 2 is good enough for quite a
lot of things.

   Good reaction. :)  [It's faster, easier, and more flamefree than
wading thru csa2, which must be why some idiots keep trying do diss
it-- they'd rather everyone suffer their pain]
