The ACE 500 has a single 32k ROM, with different parts
banked in dynamically.
Softswitches:
$C0B4 R
$C0B8 W Banks in $3000 to $C8; after: C0B4=8d C0BC=3d
$C0B9 W Banks in $3000 to $C8; after: C0B4=8d C0BC=b4
$C0BA W Banks in $4800 to $C8; after: C0B4=8d C0BC=ff
$C0BB W Banks in $4800 to $C8; after: C0B4=8d C0BC=b4
$C0BC R
Notes: A/8 and B/9 usually hit together
After B/9:
* $4n00 is mapped into $Cn
After A/8:
* $0100 is mapped into $C1
* ????? is mapped into $C2
* ????? is mapped into $C3
* $2400 is mapped into $C4
* $0500 is mapped into $C5
* $0600 is mapped into $C6
* ????? is mapped into $C7
$Cnxx access maps $3000 into $C8
