What would you do with 64MB on the motherboard, anyway.  While I don't have
a data sheet handy, I'm certain the 16MB part has a different pinout.  The
1MB part had one spare address pin, which is used in the 4MB part.  So the 
16MB part will be at least a 22 pin ZIP, possibly more pins if they've
decided to add more expansion capability or other goodies.
