The configuration register at #A8 gave #F0 when I read it from BASIC,
suggesting that there is RAM in slot 3 (#8000 - #FFFF) and ROM in slot 0
(obviously). The schematic for the CX5M/128 confirms there is a mapper for
all 8 16K RAM blocks in the 4 blocks of slot 3. Yet somehow they map the
SFG-05 in the #0000 - #3FFF block too. Forgive my inexperience with MSX
hardware; I still don't get how this works.
