The Pro Technical Manual (on Bitsavers) answers a
bunch of these questions. If I remember right, the 380 will accept 350 memory daugher
cards but also larger-capacity cards (bigger chips) that are 380 only. Also, the wiring
for the board allows for larger memories than what DEC actually built; the details are in
the CPU/Motherboard chapter of the manual. And/or in the schematics. I've thought
about building such a daughtercard, I think the best case allows close to full 4 MB worth
of memory.
Seems that a 3 MB module could be built, giving a 3.5 MB total?
