Has anyone on the list had trouble adding more than 224-ish megs of memory
to a Thinkpad 600?  (this isn't a 600E or a 600X, by the way).  I read
it's supposed to support up to 288 MB (with two 128M sodimms?), but adding
two 128M sodimms only appears to give 224M memory - same as I get from my
current configuration with a 64M sodimm and a 128M sodimm.

Will specifying "mem=288M" when booting Linux actually *work*, or will it
doom me to a non-booting machine? :)

(By the way, I also have a 385XD with 96M of memory - all seen by the BIOS
and Linux.  Is the 385XD a later machine?)
