Another widely used SIMM-based Apple IIGS memory expansion card is
MDIdeas' OctoRAM, which accommodates up to 8 each either 256KB or 1MB SIMMs,
in powers of two.  If populated with no more than 4 SIMMs, the OctoRAM
appears to be DMA compatible, and if fully populated with 1MB SIMMs for a
total of 8MB it does work with the Apple High-Speed SCSI Card, which
doesn't use DMA when accessing the upper 4MB of RAM.  (If fully populated
with 256KB SIMMs, for a total of 2MB, there seem to be DMA problems with
the upper 1MB.)
