Just a note, if 256MB DIMMs are ok in an SX, then the motherboard manual
is incorrect as well :-) (claims 32-512MB)  It wouldn't surprise me if
the board could handle 1GB, though, despite the manual :-P

Yes, that's correct.  If you don't need to netboot, then having a card
that SRM can use becomes unimportant (I've got two NetGear Lite-On-based
boards in mine that I don't care if SRM knows how to use since I don't
netboot).

Try it again...I just pulled up the ALOHcl page on my machine.
