Probably, You are searching for the resistors to remove to disable half
of the on board RAM.
You have to remove just one resistor, the one in the RAS line (without
RAS a RAM will stay in Tristate forever).
RAS is pin 4 (four) of the 41 256 chips on the board and pin 3 (three)
of the megabit chips.
The RAS of the 256 chips must be disconnected from the MCU to disable
them.
