- Maybe the problem is your strange memory configuration. The MMU of the 1040STF
- can only handle two memory banks with either 512K or 2MB. So a 1MB machine has
- two banks @ 512K. If you want to upgrade by 2MB you'll have to disable one of
- the 512K banks giving you a total of 2.5MB.

- Hope this helps, Stefan
