	Woops! Not quite that much... :-) You can only autoconfig a max of
eight megs of zorro II memory on a 3000, not 3*8. So make that 2+16+8=26M.
And *slow* is the word here... Even slower than chip ram accesses on a 3000.
(Of course, I have eight megs pluuged into *my* 3000 that way, better *slow*
than *none*. :-)
