I gather that the *MMUDIS pin is tied to : ground *inside* the package, thus permanently disabling any MMU : translation. Nope. There are reports of Amiga people using 'ec030 machines that have working MMUs. Some people have dead MMUs, some have partially working MMUs, and some people got lucky and got fully functioning one.
