This tech note:

http://developer.apple.com/legacy/mac/library/technotes/hw/hw_520.html

states that:

"There is no way that the Macintosh operating system can recognize NuBus RAM and

use it for applications."

Yes, Daystar had a product, and darn it, I can't remember the exact name, which was a Nubus card covered in RAM sockets which did exactly that.

Anyone know if Daystar found a way to directly add it to available RAM, or did they use a trick like making the extra RAM a RAM Disk and then using Virtual to use the RAM Disk as scratch space for virtual memory?

Or does anyone remember what the Daystar product was called? NewerTech made a similar product, albeit with 72 pin sockets instead of 30 pin sockets.
