Yes, this should be correct (I'm at 32 MB on all my Sparc's at the moment ;)
The SIMMs should be 9-bit ones. Some 3-chip SIMMs don't work (probably
a problem with the larger chips requiring more refresh addresses than the
system provides). I have mostly 9-chip SIMMs, but I think I also have one
bank of 3-chip ones on some machine.
