Sorry for not being very precise.
Yes, the Falcon can be equipped with 1, 4 and 14MB RAM.
Why the limit of 14MB ? Because the Falcon's address bus
is limited to 24 Bits, which means 16MB address space.
Subtract some space for hardware registers and the TOS
and you get the 14.3MB of RAM that the Falcon can support
as a maximum.
The Magnum FastRAM card does not expand the Falcon's
address bus so that the maximum address space stays
16MB. If you now put 8MB on your FastRAM card, you can
no longer expand the Falcon's ST-RAM to 14MB.
Hope that helps a bit.
