It was my understanding that standard SO-DIMM's up to 32 MB could be 
used, but then to go above that required some small customization. 
Apple's original stated RAM maximum for the 2400 was 48 MB (16 on board, 
32 MB standard JEDEC SO-DIMM).

I don't think it was any big deal to manufacture the 64's, but I think 
they only work in a 2400, and regular 64's would not.

As for the 96's, I don't know why those were so hard to do relative to 
the 64's. The board was twice as large, for starters. I gather now that 
some Japanese hackers have figured out how to modify a standard SO-DIMM 
128 (soldering a wire or two on somewhere) to give the machine a total of 
144, but I don't know anything about it.

I'll be curious to know what happens from your experiment.
