Your guess is probably correct: I don't think any of the non-MacII macs
can handle more than 8Mb of ram.  Many (most?) can only be expanded to
2.5 or 4Mb.  I don't think you can put more than 8Mb in a stock MacII.

But yes, your initial assumption was correct.  The 128K mac roms blew
up when they saw that much memory.
