Seems like it might be useful, for example, in working out what i/o
devices are where, and how they work. Knowing the instruction address
for various things might help with disassembly of the firmware. Etc.
None of this is relevant to code plug ROM emulation.
The space between the top of RAM (0x013F) and the bottom of code plug
(0x8000) is ripe for i/o devices. There's also a gap between the top of
the larger code plug ROM (0x9fff) and the firmware (0xC000) that could
have Stuff and Things in.
Again, this is a distraction from Goal A: emulate a code plug ROM, which
I'm most emphatically not trying to derail.
