C't 512 KB internal RAM expansion

/* Compatibility Problems */
** '''Notice''' the included sample program '''does''' seem to map VRAM to 4000h, whilst mapping expansion banks to 4000h at the same time. Theoretically, this should result in display glitches - unknown if/how/why the sample works [?]
* The expansion seems to have been designed independently of [[Standard Memory Expansions]] like the dk'tronics one. So, there is no (intended) compatibility. However, both c't and dk'tronics are designed around the CPC6128 banking mechanism, so they do work similar in some ways. Namely, both can map expansion banks to 4000h..7FFFh, but there are several differences:
** For the mapping to 4000h..7FFFh, dk'tronics uses values CCh..CFh, D4h..C7h, DCh..DFh, ... FCh..FFh whilst c't uses values C8h..DFh. Some of these values do overlap, providing some (unintended) semi-compatibility, but there's still one big differencesdifference: along with the above values, dk'tronics maps bank 3 to C000h..FFFFh, whilst c't maps bank 7 to that region.
