Exactly my thoughts too.

I've tried many different starting addresses, from $0000 to $E000 (which
should cause the C128 to wrap around after $FFFF, right?). Same result
everywhere. But I'm not sure that the REU sees the MMU registers at $FF00.
"Mapping the C128" is a little unclear on this, but I think that you can
make it see only RAM all the way. This is true for the shared RAM at the
bottom of memory anyway. When reading from RAM1 with a DMA device (VIC-II
and the REC), it doesn't see the shared RAM.
