This would be highly system dependent and impossible to do in a portable way. There will be some help from the compiler and linker because you can have segments and the linker can combine these segments and overlay them in memory. However the actual mechanism to load/reload these banks (or to switch them) is up to you. > Though I suppose one could get the cc65 compiler running on a GS by > compiling it with Orca/C.

I've tried to be careful about it, but it has never been tested.
