I've never tried it because I have two "proper" Beebs (the kind with
ATPL Sidewise boards, second processors, and case clips instead of
screws :-)) a B+ 128K, and a Master Turbo. I don't see any reason it
shouldn't work, though. I always fit a write-protect/enable/disable
switch to sideways RAM, though.
