Yet Another Related Question: Is 2 MB indeed the max memory,
or can we expand to, say, 8 MB (or more) using 256 KB chips?
The 68010 is not limited to 2 MB; is there an enforced memory
size limit in the o.s. or in the firmware somewhere?

And Yet Another: I have seen two different clock speeds quoted
for the Unix PC: 10 MHz and 12.5 MHz. Which is it?

Thanks!
