The CPC6128 second bank of 64K RAM is controlled by a PAL 16L8 chip. It has the Amstrad part number 40031.
On the CPC 6128 schematic, it is top centre: CPC6128 Schematic however the X inputs aren't distinguished.

Fixed version (Gerald)
Original version from Porchy suffer from a bad handling of the RAMDIS signal. This cause screen artefact when accessing an external extension RAM like XMEM.

Initial replacement equation (Porchy)
The following equations were worked out by Porchy (member on CPCWiki Forum). These can be used to program replacements:
A15OUT = (!X2 & !X1 & A14
# !X3 & !X2 & A14
# A15);
!X1 = (!A15 & D7ANDD6 & RESET & !IOWR & D0
# !X1 & RESET & IOWR
# !X1 & !D7ANDD6 & RESET
# !X1 & A15 & RESET);
!X2 = (!A15 & D7ANDD6 & RESET & !IOWR & D1
# !X2 & RESET & IOWR
# !X2 & !D7ANDD6 & RESET
# !X2 & A15 & RESET);
!X3 = (!A15 & D7ANDD6 & RESET & !IOWR & D2
# !X3 & RESET & IOWR
# !X3 & !D7ANDD6 & RESET

PAL MMR register
This register controls how the extended RAM is banked into the CPU address space. It doesn't affect the video display at all as the Gate Array can only access the Base 64k page of RAM.
| MMR | 64K page | S | MM | CPU Memory Mapping | |||||||
| 7 | 6 | 5 | 4 | 3 | 2 | 1 | 0 | &0000-&3fff | &4000-&7fff | &8000-&bfff | &c000-&ffff |
| 1 | 1 | x | 0 | 0 | 0 | Base 64k / Bank 0 | Base 64k / Bank 1 | Base 64k / Bank 2 | Base 64k / Bank 3 | ||
| 1 | 1 | p | 0 | 0 | 1 | Base 64k / Bank 0 | Base 64k / Bank 1 | Base 64k / Bank 2 | Page p / Bank 3 | ||
| 1 | 1 | p | 0 | 1 | 0 | Page p / Bank 0 | Page p / Bank 1 | Page p / Bank 2 | Page p / Bank 3 | ||
| 1 | 1 | p | 0 | 1 | 1 | Base 64k / Bank 0 | Base 64k / Bank 3 | Base 64k / Bank 2 | Page p / Bank 3 | ||
| 1 | 1 | p | 1 | b | Base 64k / Bank 0 | Page p / Bank b | Base 64k / Bank 2 | Base 64k / Bank 3 | |||
PAL I/O port
Note that no settings are stored in the Gate Array regarding register 3, but the PAL and Gate Array share an I/O port address.
Bit 14 of the PAL selection address must be at 1 on CPCs equipped with CRTCs 0, 1, 2. It can be at 0 or 1 on CRTCs 3 and 4.
For compatibility reasons, it is strongly advised to always set bit 14 to 1 to select PAL.

- CPC 464/664 cannot deal with A14/A15 for Base 64k page like the 6128 does. So external RAM expansions differ in their behaviour regarding &C3 mode. See Discussion on the forum and Another discussion
