As I explained before there are several issues that are difficult to handle
when using the extra xl ram. I still don't have any fool-proof solution for
them.

It seems that it's not a problem. The switching works on my 800xl with the 
default 19200 kbps. I don't know how it would turn out with custom ROM 
with 57600 kbps SIO though.

Anyway, I'll adapt it to the new startup file, probably tomorrow.

Fatih.
