It's a feature of the Picasso II to allow it to squeeze into an already-full Zorro II memory space at the expense of a huge performance hit.

You want it only as a last resort. Probably better to lose some Fast RAM elsewhere in order to use a non-segmented Picasso.

Put it in a sink full of water, and if it floats, it`s segmented.

Alternatively just run it under a warm tap for about 2 minutes.

Or, see if the segmentation jumper is set. One of the hardware databases can show you where it is on the board.
