I have a feeling this is somewhat of a stupid question, but I haven't been able to figure this out. I loaded a BASIC cart, hoping that it would tell me how much RAM I had, but it did not.
The reason I'm asking is that I was considering purchasing a memory expansion kit from Best, but I noticed that the expansion comes with jumper wires that need to be soldered to the bottom of the motherboard. I had my Atari 400 apart a while ago, and I noticed that it currently has red wires like those that come with the memory expansion soldered to the bottom of the motherboard, which makes me wonder if the expansion has been installed.
I've had this Atari 400 for years (my dad picked it up at a thrift store), and I just never considered that the previous owner might have expanded the RAM.
So, does anyone know if there is a way to get the RAM to display onscreen? Do I have to take the 400 apart and look at the boards to tell?
