The info I have says up to 8 megs of ram, in 16 or 32 bit mode.
It also is able to take a 16mzh 68000 instead of a 68030, and supposedly
has a facility for a proprietary cash memory area.
The ram it takes are prorprietary "picomegs" modules, that supposedly
use ZIP chips and are sort of like SIMMS.  (I guess a small board with
the ZIP on it and a jumper for 16/32 bit.)
The latest info I have from MAST is that it won't be ready till mid-April.
I have requested more info re. unix compatibility, and a few other questions
but haven't recieved a reply yet.
