disktransfers:
+always use page 2 or 3 (#8000-#fffe)
+In MSX-DOS (1&2) environment it is also possible to pass parameters in
page 0 and 1, but it is slower (diskrom needs additional slotswitching)
+Always make sure that the transferarea is located in the primary
ramslot.

(in the official way you can obtain the mainramslot with the DOS2
extended biosfunction (see section 5.2)) I don't know in DOS1...
But we all know (?) that this info is also located on address
#f341/2/3/4, both DOS1 and DOS2. Why they made 4 locations with the same
value is a mystery to me. probably overdesigning before the memorymapper
age... (also the official DOS2 docs say (also section 5.2, last lines)
that the slotselection of all 4 pages is the same.)
