CS/A65 Computer Board Memory Map
This section summarizes the I/O memory addresses used by the different boards into one table, so you can try to find out which boards are compatible.
Many boards have jumpers to set the I/O area. In these tables all possible addresses are documented, with "(default)" for the default setting, and "(opt)" for the other settings.

Note: The csakey schematics actually shows $e9x only, while my implementation has $e1x for PET compatibility and a jumper for $c1x.
Note: The PC floppy schematics actually shows $8e*/8f* only, but for testing I found it incompatible with the PETCPU. So my prototype has a jumper now.
This section summarizes the bus (physical) memory addresses used by the different boards into one table, so you can find out which boards are compatible.
Many boards have jumpers to set the memory area. In these tables all possible addresses are documented, with "(default)" for the default setting, and "(opt)" for the other settings.
The table uses sections of 64k
