| Next Register Number | $8E |
|---|---|
| Readable | Yes |
| Writable | Yes |
| Short Description | Control classic 128K Spectrum memory mapping |
bit 7 = port 0xdffd bit 0 \ RAM
bits 6:4 = port 0x7ffd bits 2:0 / bank 0-15
R bit 3 = 1
W bit 3 = 1 to change RAM bank,
= 0 no change to mmu6 / mmu7 / RAM bank in ports 0x7ffd, 0xdffd
bit 2 = port 0x1ffd bit 0 paging mode
If bit 2 = paging mode = 0 (normal)
bit 1 = port 0x1ffd bit 2 \ ROM
bit 0 = port 0x7ffd bit 4 / select
If bit 2 = paging mode = 1 (special allRAM)
bit 1 = port 0x1ffd bit 2 \ all
bit 0 = port 0x1ffd bit 1 / RAM
- Writes can affect all ports IO:$7FFD, IO:$DFFD, IO:$1FFD
- Writes always change the ROM / allRAM mapping
- Writes immediately change the current mmu mapping as if by port write
(new register since core 3.1.1)
(note: Next registers with number higher than $7F are inaccessible from Copper code)
