Hyperam 50/60
@7017h "Hypertec RAM50/60"
ADF weirdness, @7017.ADF, MASTER.ADF, and HYPERAM5.ADF
MASTER.ADF has ALL menu items.
NOTE: As always, the floggings will continue until morale improves...
UZnal was of the opinion that the install derives a system-specific @7017.ADF from MASTER.ADF, that approach has been seen before.
It might be HYPERAM5.ADF is used with QEMM?

Hyperam 50/60
Two versions, a 2MB and 8MB. 120nS or faster. [100nS won't speed 50/60 up :( ]
2MB uses 256Kbit [512KB, 1MB, 2MB]. 8MB uses 1Mbit [2, 4, and 8MB].

The 50/60 MUST only have 1MB on the sysboard.
We need a closer image of the VRAMs in the banks, it sorta appears the VRAM is left aligned, but the luser's manuel says the notch [or dot] is to the right. -LFO
If you look at the upper right corner of the 50/60, you will see three IC sockets. The ICs in them are Cypress CY2149 1,024x4 R/W SRAM.
My big SWAG is the 2M and 8M versions differ in these three ICs, maybe the 8M version uses 4,096x4 SRAMs to act as TAG rams? Dunno, IBM also used TAG rams on some of their earlier memory expansion adapters.
No idea if the 20Lx/16Lx PALs are different between 2M and 8M 50/60... The truth is out there...

EMS I/O addresses - 3 I/O needed [2n8 - 2nA, n is 5,6,0 or 1]. Disable if not used.

Hyperam50/60 Window status 64k+ of address space used to access extra ram [LIM-SPEC 4.0]. If the Hyperam50/60 conflicts with other peripherals, try other windows. If this is not possible, try moving some of your other peripherals.
If you don't use EMS, disable the window. NOTE for multiple Hyperam50/60s, enable ONLY ONE window, because all boards share a single window.

Window Address Ranges The ADF does NOT tell you the size of the window. Looking at the manuel, you see:
|
|
Window Size |
|
C000-DFFF |
128KB |
|
C000-CFFF |
64KB |
|
C800-D7FF |
64KB |
|
D000-DFFF |

|
C000-D7FF |
96KB |
|
C400-DBFF |
96KB |
|
C800-DFFF |
96KB |
Note that the 128KB window covers ALL of C -and- D thousand. How this affects any installed adapter BIOS is unknown. YMMV...
