  Incidentally, have you ever tried to add
'real' sideways RAM to a B+?
 The buit-in RAM only gives 12K of sideways RAM, which is fairly useless.

  I was wondering about adding a 62256 chip (or similar)
in one of the
 EPROM sockets, with the WE/ line connected appropriately. 
I've never tried it because I have two "proper" Beebs (the kind with
ATPL Sidewise boards, second processors, and case clips instead of
screws :-)) a B+ 128K, and a Master Turbo.  I don't see any reason it
shouldn't work, though.  I always fit a write-protect/enable/disable
switch to sideways RAM, though.
