Hallo allemaal,

Anthony Beckett put these fotos on the net:

Not being familiar with the MultiMax hardware it seemed a nice way to learn
about it. I replied to a message with the following but never got a reply :(

Studying the photos the first thing I noticed was that pin 5 of the
expansionslot, the R/W line, is not connected. Very strange when there is a
SRAM onboard. Pin 21 of the SRAM is the R/W-input and is connected to the
DMA-input. The CS- and OE-pin of the SRAM are connected to I/O1. I/O2 goes
to jumper J5 and through the solderpad to EXROM I believe?

It doesn't make sense to me or somebody is pulling our legs :)

=========================================================================

Any explanation is welcome.
