I found this in Article 85 in Cameron's Knowledge Base:
********
C128 running in C64 emulation mode?
If the program is in a C128 that is running in C64 mode you can take
advantage of the numeric keypad and FAST (2 mhz) processor modes even
though your program is a C64 only one. To tell this you can take
advantage of the fact that the VIC II chip in the C128 has 2 more
registers than the one in the C64. The location 53296 ($d030) will
contain 255 ($ff) in a C64 but will contain 252 ($fc) in a C128 that
is running in C64 mode.
********
Hope this is helpfull...
