   Apple IIe memory map itself is somewhat complicated. In a stock machine with   
   no expansion there is 64K of memory, which (up to) 56K is visible at any given   
   time. The extra 4K    
   is switchable into $D000-$DFFF, allowing access to the full 64K. This   
   precedent was set by the Apple II/II+ (48K) with a 16K expansion. The memory   
   can be selected for write-only (reads come from ROM), read-only, or   
   read+write.    
      
   Bah, up to 60K, not 56K :-)
