The ’C2xx fetches its interrupt vectors from program-memory locations
0000h–003Fh (the reset vector is fetched from 0000h). Make sure that the in-
terrupt vectors are stored at the top of the EPROM, so that they will be trans-
ferred to addresses 0000h–003Fh in the RAM (see Figure 4–11). Each inter-
rupt vector is a branch instruction, which requires four 8-bit words, and there
is space for 32 interrupt vectors. Therefore, the first 128 words to be trans-
ferred from the EPROM should be the interrupt vectors.
