Interesting you should bring this up.  I just got a new IIsi today through
the developer's program and the invoice said IIsi 3/40MB.  Figuring it 
was a typo, I disregarded it.  I had 4 1MB SIMMS waiting to be popped in
when the machine arrived, so I did that.  The chips in the SIMMS bank 
did look kinda funny.  I popped those into Bank B of a MacII we have in
the office.  Later, I noticed that the IIsi box said 3MB of ram.  Interesting
.  I will go back into the office and see if that Mac II now has 6MB. 
I'll post again if no one else has confirmed it...
