Can I ask, what's the consequence of attaching the Plus 2 to a Plus 1 with fully populated AP6? Will the ROMs in the Plus 2 simply take priority over those in the AP6? Or will it just explode?!
Chris . . . The issue is ROM bank duplication. The AP6 buffers all ROM bank positions. So anything duplicated elsewhere will clash. However, most ROM banks can be 'disabled' on the AP6: 4,5,6,7,13 and 15 - but you'd have to ask yourself would it then be worth having?

Both the AP6 and Plus 2 use Banks 4, 5, 13, 14 and 15!

It won't explode . . . but it most probably won't start-up!
