I'm running an Altos System 5000 (486/EISA) with 32MB of memory. It runs an
Altos-modified version of SCO UNIX.

I find nothing in the Interactive UNIX release notes about a 16MB limit, or
about the lifting of such a limit. I have never run ISC on more than 16MB.

I would hope that EISA and MCA support would include the ability to address
more than 16 MB.
