   One of (or maybe the only) time MergeMem is needed, if

Not exactly.  I have 8up!(DIP) memory board which autoconfigures, but
it's organized into two separate 4 MB 'PICs' which look like individual
memory cards to Amiga. There's now 2 MB on both PICs and if I don't use
MergeMem my largest memory block would be 2 MB but it's now about 3.7 MB
after startup and MergeMemming.
