Yeah, I want to map actual memory...
Ah! By "downgrading", I was meaning to desolder IC23 and replace it with a socket, so I could put the IC back (for a 48k Spectrum) or put a low-profile socket with pull-up (a) resistor(s) soldered across it in instead (for a 16k Spectrum). But that's even easier!1024MAK wrote: ↑Sat Mar 28, 2020 4:39 pm For issue 2 to 4S boards, to disable the "upper" 32k of RAM, take a piece of wire and connect pin 5 on IC23 (a 74LS32) to +5V. (link).
If you wire an SPST on/off switch in series you can enable it or disable it as you see fit. You can even wire in a LED to show the current status.
Thanks very much for the tip!
