Once you make the change, all you need to do is set the dip switches on the card correctly to use the extra memory. Memory cards for the 100A didn't have this feature. I do seem to recall an adapter card that would allow the 100B memory cards to be used in a 100A, but since I don't have a 100A, I didn't remember it very well....
