# New Light on the Memotech Memory Mystery

In UPDATES No. 1, I noted that several people experienced unusual behavior of their computers when the Memotech 16K RAM pack was used to expand capacity to 32K.

[Bill Russell](http://localhost/indiv/bill-russell/) of Winky Board fame sheds some light on this common problem and gives a possible cure.
