The addresses given in the hardware manual are correct and *MUST* be
strictly adhered to! Any code that does not use these addresses is
buggy and in need of repair. It's true that on most Amigas a variety of
addresses will work, but for compatability the specified addresses
*MUST* be used!!! This is not just B.S. It really is important.

(Note that I didn't pay any attention to the actual addresses mentioned
in the posting. I'm assuming that the statements in the quoted article
about them are correct).
