If you are talking about the PAL replacement, both of mine
have that.  I will assume at this point that with the upgrade
both are usable.

And now for yet another data point.

I decided, just for the fun of it, to try Level 1.  Guess what,
everything works just fine.  I have built a floppy using the
script mb.floppy and used it to build a new D. L. Logo disk.
Boots and runs just fine.

So, any utilities for testing memory expansions available?
The only thing I can think of that Level 2 does that Level 1
didn't was use the memory expansion.

In the meantime, I guess I look into building a Level 1 SCSI
system so I can start working on my projects.
