[Coco] GIME questions

[David Gacke]

One final question before I dig into this. Are GIME registers FF90 and
FFAx readable?

I'll try and verify their contents as well, if they are.

I was about to suggest the same thing. Why don't you scan memory from 
$0-$7FFF in both normal and 32K ROM mode and see if the ROMs echo in the

$0-$7FFF region. If they do, then both your high order bits and RAM/ROM 
selection isn't working correctly.

It is a result similar to a 128K Coco3 when the MMUs are set to $00. 
Some early programs needed to be rewritten when 512K boards showed up 
because the programs ignored bit high order MMU bits.
