Does anyone have the DIP switch settings for the Vixen 16K expansion sold in the UK by Stonechip electronics?

There are two switches with two positions each.

Thanks in advance.

As I'd got it out (ooo er missus) for use in another thread here, then as per the manual:

16k: 1A 2B (8k in blocks 1 and 2)
8k and 3k: 1B 2B (8k in block 1, 3k in block 3)
3k: 1B 2A (3k in block 3)

Yes, i've posted these informations some times ago since i've this expansion and his instructions...

To avoid confusion i wish to explain:

1B/2B for Vic+8K +3K (BLK1 & /RAM1 /RAM2 /RAM3)
1A/2B for Vic+16K (BLK1 & BLK2)
1B/2A for Vic+3K and 8K on BLK3 (BLK3 & /RAM1 /RAM2 /RAM3)
1A/2A for Vic unexpanded and 16K on BLK2 & BLK3 (BLK2 & BLK3)

The last mode can be used with a standard 8K expansion and a Vic-20 cartridge slot expander to have a Vic+24K.
