The WP-RS I had came out of the box using $ff76-77-78-79
But since that wipes out 8 addresses in the usual 4 address wide scheme, it 
wasn't much to move it to $ff74-77 and fix the driver since it was the 12 
upper addresses I moved below.  Spare gate on the card.

What we've needed for decades is a quick kit to isolate the $FF00-03 from 
$FF04-1F, ditto for the $FF20-03 range, leaving $FF24-3F open for our uses.
