Memory Address Mapping

The 64K address space are decoded into 8 sections by connecting the top 3 address lines, A15, A14 and A13, to a 3-line to 8-line decoder (74LS138). The outputs selects one of 8 memory ICs by asserting one of the Memory Select lines (MS0..MS7).

Memory Select Device Address
MS0 ROM 0x0000 – 0x1FFF
MS0 RAM 0x0000 – 0x1FFF
MS1 RAM 0x2000 – 0x3FFF
MS2 RAM 0x4000 – 0x5FFF
MS3 RAM 0x6000 – 0x7FFF
MS4 RAM 0x8000 – 0x9FFF
MS5 RAM 0xA000 – 0xBFFF
MS6 RAM 0xC000 – 0xDFFF
MS7 RAM 0xE000 – 0xFFFF
