  Has anyone seen the description of the new IBM PC AT's on-board memory?
IBM decided to use piggybacked 64K chips to create (in effect) 128K chips.
Since the data bus is 16 bits wide, two rows of 8 chips each gives 256K.
Does anyone know if there is any chance of using the same strategy on our
Macs? It would be lots cheaper than 256K chips, and might not be any harder
than doing the upgrade to 512K ourselves...
