Please consider how your program might run on a *different* 256KB expansion; I have a much simpler one which divides the 64K address space into four 16K areas and allows each one to select from 4 independant 16K blocks. The 4 blocks are exclusive to that area and may not appear anywhere else in the memory map.

Yes it's slightly more restrictive than the Hannes expansion, but *a lot*
easier to build and I'd like to convert as many 256K programs to use it as possible, (a) to show its usefulness as a 256K expansion and (b) to make it easier for less technical users to build 256K machines.
