 Why $0401, $0801, $1c01? Why not $0400,

Hi all,

I figure that someone here probably knows why CBM's basic RAM always started
at $xx01 addresses, like $0801, $0401, $1001, $1c01 instead of $0800, $0400,
$1000, $1c00?
What is sitting in that one byte, or what role is it playing?
I realize that I've always taken that for granted, but never asked myself why.
Or I knew it at some point in the past and forgot.

Cheers
/Philip
