Running some tests/applications (e.g. ehBASIC) showed me, I have have to rethink my memory usage in bank $00. I will have to move the monitor stack higher up in memory, maybe start the stack at $BF00. Also I want to move the UART buffer(s) lower in memory. This will free some extra (continuous) memory I can use.
The new memory map might look like this:
$FFFF $FFF0 |________Emulation mode interrupt vectors $FFE0 |________Native mode interrupt vectors $FD00 |________Reset routine(s) $FCA0 |________Fixed jump table $FC00 |________Interrupt Service Routine(s) $D800 |________Supermon816 (adapted from original by BigDumbDinosaur) $D000 |________Intel Hex Uploader (adapted from original by Ross Archer) $CD00 |________UART driver (inspired by and based on code by BigDumbDinosaur) $C020 |________UART I/O registers (mapped to UART card using GAL) $C000 |________Start of ROM $BFFF |________Supermon816 stack | (growing down...) | $A000 |________Bottom of stack (?), giving 8kByte of stack $9FFF |________Top of free RAM | | (Giving 37.5 kByte of free RAM) | $0A00 |________Free RAM $09FF | | $0980 |________UART Channel B TxD buffer $097F | $0900 |________UART Channel B RxD buffer $08FF | $0880 |________UART Channel A TxD buffer $087F | $0800 |________UART Channel A RxD buffer $07FF | | $02E6 |________Free RAM / RESERVED? $02E4 |________Character scan routine vector $02E2 |________Character input routine vector | (Reserved) $02DE |________Software BRK vector $02DC |________Software BRK vector checksum $02DA |________Software INT/IRQ vector $02D8 |________Software INT/IRQ vector checksum $02D6 |________Software NMI vector $02D4 |________Software NMI vector checksum $02D2 |________Software Reset vector checksum $02D0 |________Software Reset vector $02EF | $0266 |________Free RAM $0265 | | $0246 |________(Supermon 816 auxbuffer) $0245 | | $0200 |________Keyboard buffer $01FF | | $0100 |________Hardware stack $00FF | | $0000 |________Zero Page
