Are you under the assumption that a 68881 or 68882 will fit into the STe?
I don't remember seeing an advertisement saying that the STe had such a
slot, and I don't remember seeing one inside my STe...

And by the way, I ACTUALLY tried to put 4 4Meg SIMMs into my machine,
and had unpredictable results, sometimes I had 2 meg, sometimes I had 4 meg,
But NEVER did I have 16Meg. (I was using 4meg x 9 SIMMs, but that shouldn't
matter that I did't have 4meg x 8)
