As far as I know, there is no differnce between the Rom o1 and Rom 03 in
terms of the amount of extra memory they can have...the memory expansion
port can only handle up to 8 megs.
This raises an interesting question.  If the 65c816 is able to address 16
megs of ram, and there's already 1 meg of ram on the Rom03 IIgs
motherboard, and the memory expansion slot can handle 8 megs, wouldn't it
be possible to have a 9 meg  IIgs?
And on a Rom 04 IIgs, wouldn't upwards of that (10megs or more) be possible?
