Of course, that is the minimum.
Otherwise, I would be just a lamer.

Finally fetched my parcel today from the DLH delivery shop nearby (wasn't at home, when it arrived) with 4 RAM expansion a 512 KByte (switchable to 256 KByte for full 768 KByte) and two MicroDrive Pico. Wanted to test the RAM expansion. But I seem to have a display cable problem. When I connected it to my (currently only working) German MGG QL the screen showed nothing (only green), but I know It has had worked with this monitor (monochrome), and it has a new keyboard membrane. When I wickled at the display cable one time I could see (albeit in very bad quality) the famous F1/F2 prompt. So the QL seems to be okay (Microdrive starts when pressing F1/F2), and I assume also the monitor, but the cable seems to have a loose connection.

For the memory expansion: Must I simply set switch 2 to 2-3 for the second card (connected to the first which is connected to the QL), to receive the full 768 KByte extension?

Unfortunately I have nearly no time this weekend. Tomorrow I have to go to an aunt's funeral and on Saturday my nephew is celebrating his wedding.
