What was the code you added?  Just a simple $100-$1ff memory test and
then a jump to ($8000), where the cartridge would also be mapped?  I
guess the cartridge will then complain about the KERNAL and BASIC ROMs
and any RAM above $1000, as they are not available in the UltiMax
configuration.  There are 1014 $aa bytes at the end of the 8k ROM,
which is pretty much space for additions.
