Well, my instruction reads that L1 has to be set as soon as you have
a 4118 (or the otehr way around, it is only to be left out if you have
two 2114). Please check also the scanned assembly instructions at the
ZX Team pages (English Version)

go to page 3, read the IMPORTANT paragraph

Na, of course not - in fact, I got it at a time when the ZX was already
history to me ... BTW, have I already told the story that I build a
casher out of a ZX81 ?

Jep. As before, as soon as you have a single chip memory, you
needed the link.
