Some MILOs *have* been hard-coded to 32Mb; tell MILO "set MEMORY_SIZE 64"
at the MILO> prompt to get 64Mb when you boot LINUX...

Uh, don't spend much time looking for a SCSI connector on the motherboard;
CABRIOs have only IDE built-in; Enet and SCSI are both add-in PCI boards.
It's NONAME/MULTIA and the EB's that have (at least) SCSI on the MB.

As for MILO, it'll have whatever driver you configure, I believe. Since
most CABRIO *systems* coming from DEC or a 3rd party have had NCR810, it's
not been a problem (before now... :-).
