Makes sense. Switching to ultimax mode makes everything between $1000
and $7FFF disappear.

Yup.

Open means that nothing is answering at these addresses and you'll
only get bus noise if you try to read from it, like $DE00-$DFFF
behaves if you don't have a cartridge plugged in. So in ultimax mode
you have
4K of ram at $0000-$0FFF
8K of cartridge rom at $8000-$9FFF
4K of I/O registers at $D000-$DFFF
8K of cartridge rom at $E000-$FFFF
The rest of the address space is unusable (unless you're Marko Mäkelä :).
