Sysinfo reports the MMU as "not in use" or somthing like that


That just means Sysinfo found the MMU, but there's no software currently using it for anything.

Dont you need a MMU for your PCMCIA port to work correctly when >4MB of RAM is installed?


The problem is that both the PCMCIA slot is hardwired to use the same 4MB memory range as the 2nd half of the 8MB expansion space.
 Also, both the PCMCIA controller in the Gayle chip, and the memory controller on the memory board are hardwired to work *only* for accesses in that 4MB memory range. No amount of MMU trickery can overcome it.
