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

      From: pzem...@gmail.com              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              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
