Addresses 0-8191: 8K RAM (Storage and User Program)
The first block of
RAM is allocated to working storage, the stack, tape
buffers, and storage of user programs. The amount of active
RAM may be 4K
(addresses 0-4095), BK (addresses 0-8191), 16K (addresses 0-16384), or 32K
(addresses 0-32767). The first 1K allocation (to 1024) is fixed; the larger the
memory
size. the more space is available in the user program area.
o
Locations 0 through 255 are used by the BASIC interpreter as working
storage locations. This
area is detailed in Table 6-2.
