On the CPC 6128 schematic, it is top centre: [http://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/4/4a/CPC6128_Schematic.png CPC6128 Schematic] however the X inputs aren't distinguished.

== IC Models used in CPC ==
These are the ones known to be used in the CPC by looking at pictures of CPC mainboards:
* HAL16L8ACN [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/6/67/CPC6128_PCB_Top_%28Z70290_MC0020F%29.jpg Source]
* PAL16L8ACN [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/4/4e/CPC6128_PCB_Top_%28Z70290_MC0020G%29.jpg Source]
They both wear the same Amstrad part number 40031. On the Amstrad chassis schematic diagram, this part is numbered 40030. [https://www.cpcwiki.eu/imgs/4/4a/CPC6128_Schematic.png Source]

RAM expansions can even be at an adjacent address range. For example, the [[Y-MEM]] is a 512k RAM expansion that uses the &7Exx range instead of the usual &7Fxx.
Given this diversity of RAM expansions, [[SymbOS]] does the right thing by testing each 64k page individually to detect the available RAM.

However, if the RAM expansion decodes the [[Standard_Memory_Expansions#Extended_1M-4M_Expansions_.28RAM7.2FYarek-style.29|A8 address line]], you can access the internal second RAM bank of the 6128 from another range (&7Exx). The [[X-MEM]] and [[CPC_iRAM#CPC_iRAM.2F640|iRAM/640]] expansions implement this and therefore can provide 640K of total RAM.

== 4MB RAM expansions ==
Beware about 4MB RAM expansions. The upper 2MB (Port 7Bxxh, 7Axxh, 79xxh, 78xxh) of a 4MB RAM expansion can conflict with other hardware as setting A10 to 0 is also used for many hardware expansions.
See the [[Default I/O Port Summary|I/O Port Allocation Rules]] to understand why.
The practical safe maximum on Amstrad CPC with [[Standard Memory Expansions]] is 2MB.
