- I've had problems with AutoXA not adding the ram it's supposed to, despite
- proper eeprom settings. Don't know why.
-
- RomTagMem is also ShapeShifter-friendly. Programs that use Cool/ColdCapture
- to add the memory, get stomped by PrepareEmul. RomTagMem uses Romtags which
- are safe...and function like a linked list as I recall, so you can add as man
- Romtags as there are wedges you want to add...as long as you do it via the
- OS, of course.

- ...Sean.

- By the way, can anyone with 3.1 and a 1230XA confirm that it actually
- does Autoconfig?
