I used to see AE ads long ago (long before I got my RamWorks III) that said
to call for prices on a RamWorks with 3-16 megs.  The capability is
probably there, but it's mainly workstations (Sun, NeXT, etc.) that
would use anywhere near 16 megs.  All they advertise anymore are the
card itself (which takes up to 1 meg in either 64K or 256K DRAMs), a
512K piggyback (using 256K DRAMs), and a 2-meg piggyback (using 1 meg DRAMs).
