I've just acquired MAC/65 for my Atari 800XL. I think that it's one of those
OSS Supercartridges which can be paged in and out at will (even though it's
plugged into the cartridge port). This is nice as it allows access to the
RAM from $A000-$BFFF.

Unfortunately I don't know how to use this feature and the manual doesn't
say anything. I remembered from reading an article in Analog (I think) a
couple of years back about paging out OSS BASIC and putting some DOS
files under there as a RAM-disk. It mentioned addresses around $D500 for
paging the cartridge. The debugger in MAC/65 certainly does not like looking
at that area of memory.

If anyone really knows how to control this I would really like to know.

Thanks for any help.

Dave.
