max memory is 16MB, by using four 4MB 30-pin simms. That gives you 198
seconds of loop time, which can be used in a variety of ways. (really long
loops, multiple loops, #undo's available, multiplying/inserting on a loop,
etc.). Upgrading to the max possible memory is very cheap these days,
there's hardly any excuse not to do it.

don't know the answers to the other questions....
