  There is something wrong with memory on AMAX. Check out the Finder info
and see how much memory you have. Although I know I have 2.5 megs, the Finder
info says I have 15 megs.

  Second, I think the mac has a 4 meg limit on memory expansion. Have you
thought about making a ram drive with any free memory? I use a 1.5 meg ram
drive to do my downloading and unstuffing.

  On our Amiga 3000 it said we had a 68020 too.
