I have an ATI VGA Wondercard with 256K of memory, which was purchased about
14 months ago.  I have just purchased an ATi "clone" which has 512K of
memory.  My problem:  I want to take the extra 256K of memory off the
ATI "clone" and put it on the ATI card (the reason being that I want
to use the mouse port on the ATI card, and have higher resultion
graphics).  I have a schematic for the clone, so I know which
chips to remove, but the sockets for the ATI card are a bit different.
So... does anyone know which sockets I should use on the ATI card
for the extra memory?

"diagram" of the clone:

--------
--------

--------
--------

-------- <-- expansion socket currently
--------     occupied by chip

-------- <-- hard wired memory chip

The ATI card simply has 8 expansion sockets labelled U1 through U8.
Any ideas?
