- You definitely need to remove the mother board RAM. It's done by clipping
- two resistors on the RAM select lines at the end nearest the MMU and wiring
- them to +5V.
-
- I can't give you the numbers of the resistors, as they differ from one
- revision of the circuit board to the next. You can find them by tracing the
- RAM bank 0 select lines back from the MMU. This means that you need
-
- 1) A pin-out of the MMU (see the Abacus ST Internals book)
- 2) The ability to wield a soldering iron
- 3) Confidence!
