I hope you meant Andy Gale or Andrew Chandler or someone, because I don't
know! I don't have a 1Mb upgrade so I've never needed to find out.

Having said that, I can reproduce the following, parrot fashion, from the
tech manual:

HMPR (251dec) bit 7 MCNTRL
If this bit is set when the CPU addresses high memory, then the external
signal XMEM goes low and the Coupe looks on its expansion connector for
memory sections C and D (addresses 32768 to 65536)

This isn't enough information. I'm pretty certain there are another two
ports, one each to specify a page in sections C and D. But I've no idea
what port addresses they're at.

Over to... Si?
