RE: [cc65] Atari Extended Memory Driver Anybody?

I've thought about writing one in the past.  Extended memory on the Atari is
pretty standardized, at least on all models from the XL up.  400/800 usually
used a different format, but those are typically not used with memory
expansions for the most part.  


I may have even looked at this in the past, but was put off by the API (I
think...)  It shouldn't be that difficult, to at least knocked something up
that other folks can then optimize. :)

Extended Memory on the Atari (XL+) is at $4000 and is 16K in length,
controlled by bits at $D301 (portB).
