That's not a physical address; it's the logical/virtual address that the
ROM and/or system software has set up. This is documented in GMFH, 2nd ed
(I think I said 3rd ed. in the previous message... oops :-).
Thanks for the research, though. It wasn't in vain. I probably would
have asked you to do this stuff next, anyway...
