 The 2.0 board is hard wired for "Exxx" selects in the map above.

 These use J3 select jumper for 8xxx - Exxx address select range
-===== 56K NVRAM =====
-The SST-6809 has 512KB of static RAM.
-The lowest 64KB provides the processor's workspace RAM.
-There is a Memory Latch Select that allows mapping 32KB banks from the remaining 456KB of static RAM into the lower 32KB address range of the processor workspace ($0000-$7FFF)
-The remaining RAM address range $8000-DFFF remains in place allowing a stable place for interrupt service handlers, stacks, bank mapping code and more.
-ASSIST09 reserves D000-D100, F000-F3FF for its expansion ROM, and F400-FFFF for itself.
-===== Main Bus Select 0 1K =====
-Briefly, they are active low peripheral segment decodes.
-Only one is extended to the M8 bus.
-Basically, it is similar to the expansion board selects on say, an Apple II.
-It is used along with the five lowest address lines, to select devices on peripheral boards.
-So all of the expansion boards are based at the BSEL address it's connected to, and the 32 bytes at that location.
-You can stack multiple boards if those 32 addresses don't conflict.
-For example, you can combine a VIA board with a Game board, provided the Game Board UART is left uninstalled.
-Or, a Mezz board could be on the bus with some device that decodes at $8-$B as there is a gap there.
-===== Main Bus Select 1 1K =====
-If you wanted to host identical devices, for example two VIA's, it's where multiple BSEL come in.
-So one VIA would be on BSEL0 and another on BSEL1.
-All the SBC's have one expansion slot, so only one BSEL.
-But a more advanced board (aka motherboard) would have one bus select for each slot.
-So the additional slot would have BSEL1 replacing the BSEL0 on the first one.
-Ken Willmott cooked this up so that most of the decode could be shared amongst the add on boards.
-A good example of this is the VIA board, which has no decode logic on it at all.
-Just a VIA and bypass caps.
-===== ACIA Select 256b =====
-The Status, Control, TX, and RX registers of a Motorola MC6850 or Hitachi HD6350 Asynchronous Communication Interface Adapter (ACIA) are mapped into this 256 byte page.
-The ACIA has 4 registers accessible through 2 memory mapped input/output (MMIO) addresses.
-A read from $EB00 will return the content of the ACIA Status register.
-A write to $EB00 will update the ACIA Control register with new configuration.
-A read from $EB01 will return received byte from the ACIA RX Data register.
-A write to $EB01 will update the ACIA TX Data register with a new byte to transmit.
-===== Memory Latch Select 256b =====
-The paging latch.
-Writing to it selects different blocks from the 512k to appear in the main map.
-E.g. if you write a 1 to EF00 it will duplicate the upper bank in the lower bank.
-The memory decode maps any 32k page of the 512k into $0000-$7FFF.
-The region from $8000-$DFFF is not affected by the paging register contents.
-So you can run paging code resident there.
-For that reason, it's also recommended to put any ISR's there.
-The lowest 4 paging bits control RAM, bits 4-6 select one of 8 EEPROM pages of 4k each.
-Bit 7 controls the "stat" LED
-The M command is RMW and the latch is not qualified with R/W.
-The CPU can write it but if you try doing it manually with the monitor, it will write garbage into the latch.
-If you store in a $80 it should change the status LED
-To be more specific, $80 turns the LED off and $00 turns it on as it is a pulldown and should be on at reset.
-The logic fixes ROM and I/O in place.
-When you map page 1 to page 0, only the RAM is relocated.
-So, the RAM that is hidden "under" ROM and I/O becomes visible that way.
-===== EEPROM 4K =====
-The SST-6809 contains a 32KB EEPROM.
-The Memory Latch Select allows mapping one of eight 4KB sections of the EEPROM into the memory range $F000-$FFFF which includes the MPU interrupt vectors.
-Make use of the boot ROM select jumper(s).
-The 2.0 can boot from 4 different segments, the 2.1 only 2.
-But the current EEPROM only has ASSIST09 burned into it.
-The "external ROM" is just the unused space in the other half of the 4k boot ROM.
-Ken just never put anything there.
-At some point Ken could burn another boot into an EEPROM.
-The PTM on the Mezz board can support tracing with ASSIST09, but it needs a jumper to put its interrupt on NMI.
