Wasn't this discussed a few months ago here?  Someone was going to compose
a list of the addresses.  Maybe Richard Atkinson?  Anyway, the REU
occupies $df00-$df0a or so, and there are mirrors at $df10,... (or maybe
it was $df20; I don't have the REU at hand right now).  I modified one REU
so that it can coexist with an Action Replay cart (which uses $de00-$deff
for one 7-bit write-only register and $df00-$dfff for ROM or RAM).  The
modification was a 3-position switch that would choose the REU registers
to be read/write, write-only or completely disabled.  In write-only mode,
detecting the REU reliably is impossible, and not many programs are likely
to work in that mode.  But prlink does work. :-)

Maybe they are afraid of people making clones? :-)
