eComStation can do at least 2GB and with updates 4GB
OS/2 Warp4 should be able to handle 256MB

Don't use those motherboard BIOS settings with
eComStation or OS/2 Warp4. Leave the BIOS setting at
default - "OS/2 use greater than 64MB = No"

  Well I was talking about OS/2 PowerPC edition (Released december 1995)
   During that time Warp V3 could handle 64mb maximum. This was 
mentioned somewhere in my earlier post.
