OK. I don't have a C64 laying around, but the easiest thing to do would
be to plug MAX BASIC Ultimax cartridge, program the VIC from the BASIC
to access this memory area, and use the logic analyzer to see what;'s on
the bus. In the real Ultimax I am 99% sure the VIC will see it, but on
the C64 it's not so certain.
