I tried to be carefull and worked on a static mat, tried to account for the little interrupt insulation that the ZRAM uses on one pin, but still ended up with .5M instead of the normal unenhanced 1M. I found this very discouraging. Is there a specific pin that addresses each bank of memory, and where, as exactly as possible might it be on the mmu? Or should I bark up another tree entirely? I also fiddled with the video shifter in the ZRAM removal if thart could be implicated. Thanks for any help. Stuck on my wife's 1M st... J Harris
