BASIC programs in memory

Post by ajordison »

Apologies if this has been asked before but where is the start of BASIC i.e. where basic programs are stored, for different memory configurations? Here's where I think they are:

no expansion $1200
3K (block 0) $0400
8K (block 1) $1200
16k (block 1,2) $1200
24k (block1,2,3) $1200

Can anyone confirm/correct this?

I had a play with the different configs in VICE but I didn't get anything conclusive!

Cheers.

Also note that the screen memory is moved.

I'm not too worried about the screen memory at the moment but thanks for the reminder, and the link, it'll be useful
