Ah, bollocks, I thought I had solved that by using a IIci, which is 32-bit

Yoo ain't
foolin' me, boy. How else would you explain that my IIci
immediately
recognised the 16 MB I added into it (before, it
had only run on 8), and
immediately found a way for the OS to take over the absolute majority of that
memory, leaving me with about as much (little) free memory as before.
Without 32-bit addressing enabled, the MacOS can only access 8 MB RAM.
Anything more is reported as being used by the system. You need to switch from 24-bit to 32-bit addressing in
the Memory control
panel.
I see now that it was turned to 24-bit, right. The 4-meggers have found a
new home now, though. =)
