Hi Michael,
If you want a vote, the question that comes to my mind is: HOW CAN WE TEST IT?
I personaly will not use it, and don't know of any situation where this could be used. I DID use it in the past, very distant past, with Hercules Graphic Adapter. But where coul I find one of those?

when I wrote that 'return a001 instead of a000', I saw a lot of problems, that would arise, if lower memory MCB's will ever be joined to a000 UMB memory. so I decided to intentionally return a001.
IMO this might be feasable, if the kernel knew about a000, and immediately merged completely into lower memory arena, and start UMB at c800; else strange things *will* happen.
neither KE2035 nor toms KE2035+ kernel care about a000, and will probably behave somewhat different from specification.
Alright, I'm a bottom-line kind of guy. Do you think we should
A. remove the A000 -> A001 code (Arkady preferred) or
B. not remove the A000-> A001 code (status quo) or
C. don't care?
I'm neutral unless more than one other person supports removing the code.
