Unless you have a 2M computer, you will be talking about the low FOUR megabytes of memory, since the 1M simms are banked together in groups of four, all sharing the same block. NOt exactly. Remember, on the IIsi, there's one megabyte that's permanently soldered onto the motherboard. I believe that this is the only physical memory that gets used for the screen... Someone posted the details about how the memory gets remapped for internal video, but the article seems to have expired from our site. Amanda Walker Visix Software Inc.
