Not ture! you can add RAM to the 1601 and then download the 1601-R version
of the IOS and it works fine. The 1604 I have at home is running like that
right now and has been for 3 months without a problem. All I did was take a
16meg RAM SIM from a 2501, on boot up it tell me the 16 Meg has parity and 2
Meg on the Motherbroad does not and is disabled, some day I will fix that.
