On a related note, can anyone give some advice on whether it would be possible
(and ideally straightforward) to redirect the ROMSELs from the Master cartridge
slots to the sockets used for 4+5 and 6+7, instead of disabling the RAM?

Presumably connecting something from the right hand pins of LKs 18 and 19
to somewhere the select lines for the cartridge slots are available.

Obviously it would then be a bad idea to then put any cartridges in, but
I don't have any of those anyway.

Thanks

Michael
