Well, no one has done it yet, but unless there is something in the firmware to prevent it (which I doubt), or something in MorphOS2.1 "EFIKA" version to prevent it, (again, which I doubt), then it should be able to add another 128mb of RAM to the underside of the EFIKA exactly where the board was designed to accept additional RAM. The manufacturer offers to add RAM if a minimum number of boards are ordered that way, so it is possible,
It is not possible. Please do not try this.
bplan offers custom board reworks for large customers - the "up to 512MB" is a hint to people who want to buy 1000 boards, not so they can remodel a single board for you by hand.
Please do not make your Efika "take" 256MB RAM - it will not work, simply, because the PCB you have cannot take more than two 512Mbit chips.
