* the low byte of the text address is the same low byte of the HGR address
* the high byte of the text address is 0x1C less then the high byte of the HGR address
Technically, to conver the HGR high byte address to a Text high byte address, we only need to map these 4 high bytes:

If we care about absolute speed we could see which one takes the fewer clock cycles.
But since we already have a HGR 16-bit address table we can re-use it.
There is also the reverse conversion -- to convert a Text address to a HGR address which could be done with the same `AND #3, OR #20`, but since we don't have a Text Y table address and already have a HGR 16-bit address table we will re-use that.
Here's the Pseudo-code to copy the text screen to the HGR Screen:
