That's right, I've always been careful to put the RAM chips in the right way !

Re: A little bit of 8 Bit: 65XE upgrade to 128k RAM

Have you tested base RAM with something more than a SELF-TEST? MT chips are known to go bad. Yes, I have the Jurgen's Sys-Check cartridge ! Interesting - you have 3 different types of capacitors in RAM BANK 1, and some sockets are rotated by 180°. Some sockets are rotated by 180° ? I don't understa...

Re: A little bit of 8 Bit: 65XE upgrade to 128k RAM

These "resistors" mounted instead of EMMU are just jumpers (0 Ohm). I want to be sure I have understood correctly before starting, in first (step 1) I remove MMU and cross-wire its socket like your screenshot. If that doesn't work I replace MMU (I own 800XL MMU) without modify step 1, tha...

Re: A little bit of 8 Bit: 65XE upgrade to 128k RAM

Try to remove EMMU and cross-wire its socket, so the computer would behave as it had only 64 kB of RAM, and if it doesn't help, try to substitute MMU with another one or a GAL replacement (in 800 XL it was a PAL chip, so GAL replacement is 100% compatible).
