The ROM is addressed with the address lines and the block select line. Because the ROM is smaller than the available addresses would allow, one of the address lines are not connected into the ROM. Because the ROM is still activated for the whole area, only the lower address lines matter to the ROM. This is exactly the same as for all ROM/RAM/IO images -- it's simply because of incomplete memory decoding. -Pasi -- "I told you before: Where I go, he goes.
