that would be the typical thing to do if you eg want to bank out the ROM you
are running from, to call code from another ROM (bank), or from RAM

$400x seems to be I/O to me as well... there really must be more to this, ie
without the schematics or knowledge of the hardware it doesnt make a lot of
sense
