82c452 2 64 4Kbytes 64 16Kbytes

For the 82c452 & 3 the window to display memory can start on

When using 2 bank registers, the address range available to the
adapter is split equally between the two bank registers. I.e.
A000h-A7FFh uses one bank, and A800h-AFFFh the other.
(Or A000h-AFFFh and B000h-BFFFh respectively if using the full
