Hi,

How about implementing it as a cartridge image, e.g. XEGS format?
This gives $A000->$BFFF as a fixed bank (last 8K from ROM, 'n')
and $8000->$9FFF as any bank from the ROM ('0' -> 'n').
Therefore any other space below the ROM (<$8000) 
and above DOS (say >$2000) is spare RAM. The screen memory
would have to go there too though.

The problem as I see it would be that the sources would
have to include the bank switching calls as the linker
wouldn't do this, and this affects the open-ness of the project.

Regards,

Mark

Yes, but it's not useful in this case. The 130xe has multiple 16k banks
which can be mapped at $4000-$7FFF.
