Some of us don't have the money to spend on 4x4MB of RAM, or we'd've done it
already! I certainly don't have enough to buy this board, AND pay another
$500 (best price I've found so far: $552 + shipping...) for RAM. Sorry,
it's either migrate the memory I've got, or stay with my PC.

Actually, nevermind, if people were thinking 8-bit slots they'd've been
suggesting "xt-bus"...

Assuming we don't vote down both ISA and the onboard serial ports...
