I had a bid on e-bay for a pair of 128MB parity sims but retracted because
I was not sure they would work in the multia.

The manual (http://www.brouhaha.com/~eric/computers/udb-man.pdf)
indicates on page 1 24MB expandable to 128MB.

On page 5 it also indicates maximum memory is 129MB.

On page 91 is lists memory modules from 2-4MB simms to 2-32MB simms.

Is the upper limit of 128MB only because the only memmory modules at the
time were 32MB sims?  Has anyone run with larger than 32MB simms?

At the time I had the higest bid for $103.50 for 2-128MB parity simms.
