Um, I have 32Mb in *mine* on the mainboard, as 8x4Mb, and NO expansion boards.  It seems to work
just fine, reporting 32Mb of ram at the monitor, and in sunos4.1.

Yeah!  I found out recently with my 4/370, that if the nvram goes, the machine is dead meat.
As an aside - A mate of mine just found a 4/390, I wonder how long it will be before he needs to
