[SunRescue] IPX max memory

Mine currently has 64meg in it.  I "think" it can be tricked into something
larger but AFAIK 64meg is MAX.  You need to use parity memory - if you don't
it either won't see any memory or it will "mis-read" the amount of RAM.
Also only 4, 16, and 32meg SIMMS (again AFAIK) are acceptable - 8 meg SIMMS
do not work.

Maybe - Maybe not.  Check all the board connections - especially the power.
Also check the above memory configuration issues.  Finally make sure that
all the chips are seated properly - especially the NVRAM chip.  (Usually has
bar-code on it and is about 1" long.)

Hope this helps!

Sincerely,
