This would probably help me - do you have the opportunity to scan them ?
I neither have the Service Manual. Is it downloadable somewhere ?

Yes , I know. However 1Mx1 and 256kx4 Chips offer a Hidden Refresh mode without address transfer,
which allows refreshing while the output data is still valid. Since the Plus/4 uses rather slow memory timing it should be easily possible to perform one or more refresh cycles while CAS is low..
The only thing required to do is to pull RAS high at least 25ns after CAS went low and pull it low again after 60ns..
With a bit of luck this is just a minor modification to the 256k ram extension, but it would enable us to use 1Mx1 chips and even simms.. :)
