The Apple spec sheet lists the maximum memory possible on an SE/30 as
8 megs, while the IIsi with half as many slots (and using 4 meg SIMMs)
can have up to 17 megs.  

Question:  can the SE/30 use 4 meg SIMMs in some or any configuration?
I know that the current system software can only handle 8 megs, but
will this be possible in the future?  (I'm assuming the spec sheet for
the SE/30 hasn't been changed for awhile, and in the olden days of 18
the idea of needing more might have seemed absurd...)

I'm asking this for a friend who is about to give her daughter one
heck of a Christmas present, but isn't sure whether it will be an
SE/30 or a IIsi.  Respond by email or here as you think appropriate.
