NOTE: If RAMCard RAM was already in a write-enabled state, only a
angle access of a write-enable control address ($C081, $C083, $C089,
$C08B) is necessary to remain in a write-enable state until a write-
protect control address is accessed. (This state applies immediately
following power on.)

The topics in these sections include status bits, the LED Indicators on
RAMCard, and RAMCard hardware details.

Status Bits

Whenever a read is performed to any of the control addresses which
alter RAMCard functions, the lower four bits of data returned show
the status JUST PRIOR to the read.

The four status hits (not to be confused with the bits of the control
address) indicate:

BANK SELECT

When BANK I is selected, status bit 0 will be

high. When BANK 2 is selected, status hit 0 will be low. This
state applies immediately following power on.
