Indeed. The only guy I heard of who has one is an Apple engineer.

Well, this is the easy part, although this cannot be (easily) done
with a system patch. It must be a custom ROM Board.
The really hard part is to modify the motherboard to support it.
The voyager chipset is the heart of the Newton, I mentioned it
yesterday. Well, it accesses the DRAM. And I don't think it has any
additional address line for more DRAM.
