Hmm... I think you're right. In the memory configurations where the chip in U36 (internal function ROM is what Commodore calls it) is seen by the processor, AFAIK it works like any other ROM in the computer; i.e. when you read from that area, you read from ROM, but when you write, you write to RAM. I don't know if there is a way to change this behavior. I'll check my reference books.
