The way this was done on eb100/eb600 depends on the manufacturer's intentions at the time the design of each board was final. It may well be that the startup ROM can detect the existence of either one or two devices and assign the size properly.

I think that's more likely than having ROM code that needs another change when the manufacturer decides to put on another memory chip.

Edit: What we really need is an insider at Netronix ;-)
