There's been a lot of talk about OctoRAM lately and I'm getting closer to
wanting more memory.  OctoRAM and GS Sauce are the only two SIMM boards
that I know of.  I have a ROM 03 and don't know the implications wrt these
memory boards.  I seem to recall that there was some kind of change made 
with ROM 03.  I know I want at least 2 Megs with room for more if I were to
get AE's RAMKeeper.  So here follow some questions:

	- Are there any other SIMM boards available?
	- I know GS Sauce works with a ROM 03, but does it work with AE's
		RamKeeper?
	- Will OctoRAM work on a ROM 03 and with RamKeeper?
	- What about add-ons like TWGS, RAMFast SCSI, etc.
	- Why does the new Chinook 4000 advertise ROM 03 compatibility
		while no one else does.  Does this mean anything?
	- Is the 4 bank(or chip) limit specific to the GS, the memory board?

Finally someone recently made reference to the modified 65816 and I assumed
they meant AISC.  What happened over the summer?  Has the company and/or
hardware failed?  Things were looking real good last April including the
"major aftermarket manufacturer" with whom a contract was (supposedly?)
signed.

Thanks for any help!  Mail me personally and I'll summarize or the net if
the public should know.

Brian.
