• Memory map at power on is in the MZ-800 mode as
in
®,
but it changes to the MZ-700 mode by the
monitor ROM when the monitor program starts. After
transferring the CG data to the VRAM PCG area from
the CG ROM at @, the memory map then returns to
®.
• When the system program is completed to load, the
memory map goes into the MZ-700 mode if the
system switch (SW1) is set to ON side. If set to OFF
side, it changes to the MZ-800 mode, then the
memory map as in @. During those changes, all
memory spaces are composed of RAM and isolated
from ROM and VRAM.
