Okay, Bill, now that you have the 4MB IIgs
RAM card done, how about a Slinky clone
that holds 64MB (four 16MB SIMMs)?

I think the Slinky uses three bytes for
addressing, so 16MB (four 4MB SIMMs or
one 16MB SIMM) might be the limit for
compatibility.

Even 4MB (four 1MB SIMMs) would
still be nice in an Apple IIe.
