I don't think there will be that many '040s for Plus/SE/Classics, but TOTAL
SYSTEMS (yes, they want in in all caps) have 25, 33, and 40MHz 030s for
all those machines, and provide Virtual with the boards, so you can break
the 4MB limit.  And yes, the newer boards support 4MB SIMMs, the older Geminis
support 4MB SIMMs with some patches to the board.
