the IPX takes 72 pin 33 or 36 bit parity memory to a max of 64 MB (4 x 16
MB) there is one circumstance where the IPX (And SS2) can have an additional
32 or 64 MB via an s-bus memory board for a max of 128 MB. This board ONLY
works in the SS2 and IPX and is fairly rare these days.
The IPC can have a max of 48 MB via 30 pin parity memory. (12 x 4 MB)

This is not entirely true. See above comments. I have memory for sale for
all of these machines contact me off list please.

eBay is your best bet to fine s-bus boards. Those boxes should make nice
little firewalls. I have used SS2's for that job with good success using BSD
UNIX OS's
