- This brings up a question. Why is it that even on those systems that allow
- recovery of some of the unused shadow ram, they can never readdress more than
- 256K? This is curious because there is only 96K of ROMs to shadow on most
- systems (C000-C7FF and F000-FFFF). 384K - 96K = 288K. What happens to the
- other 32K?
