   The mutant 4 Meg SIMMs will work in a IIx, but probably not in the
   other two (SEx and IIcx) due to size limitations.  By mutant, I mean
   "piggyback" or whatnot.  The "normal" 4 Meg SIMMS ought to work in
   all three.  This was discussed over the net a little while back.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I seems to remember that the maximum
amount of RAM that can be used in a Plus or SE is 4Meg, regardless of
the chip density.  The ROM addresses start at 4Meg, consequently, you
cant put any RAM there.  I don't know if the denser chips would work
or not, but in any case you cant have more than 4Meg.
