Looking at the disassembly there appears to be additional "registers" at $E882, E888, and E88A which corresponds to the CRTC IO area $E880-E88F. Normally there are only two CRTC registers ($E880 and $E881) and those are mirrored in the $E88x range. There may be decoding on the board that negates the mirroring and decodes these additional registers.I have looked through a couple times and I can not see any writing to any normal memory area, so I'm thinking the graphics ram must be accessed through these "registers" somehow.I do not see any writes to $E800 or $E801 (The CRTC register select and data ports) so it doesn't appear to be using the CRTC to access memory.
