Okay, we're ready to do the memory upgrade on an MK2 but we're not quite clear on how to proceed. We've got the memory from Hugo. It sounds like we need to solder 4 additional chips to the player as they are supposed to be 1 MB each (as I understand it). Reading back from Hugo's posts, the MK2 has 3 banks comprised of 6 chips (apparently 2 MB units). He says "you could piggyback on one of the banks and get 16MB, adding bank 4." Meaning to me that we need to stack 2 chips on top of 2 of the stock chips. Is this correct? If so, which 2 stock chips can the stacks go on? Any 2, any adjacent 2 or what? It also sounds to me like a special modified kernel is needed. Will the player work normally without this kernel?

Thanks,
Stu
