I have the docs for it kicking around here somewhere (single-page, I could scan it for you
if you like - assuming I can find it). IIRC it will go up to the 30G barrier (but I could be
wrong - it's been quite a while since I used it).

Btw, the board is just a ROM socket - I used to put the ROM itself (which IIRC is 8K) into
the boot rom socket of my network cards on various 486 class machines - if you are not
using network boot, it saves a card slot.

And yes, it does work.
