If you execute the bankswitching code in the $F0xx page, accesses to
$FFF8 will take the value to be written from the last address that was
accessed in $F0xx. So depending on which address you put the STA $FFF8 at,
the last fetch when the processor reads that instuction might be on
an address which has the bits set for a working bankswitching/write-enable
value or not. In general it's best not to execute any code at $F0xx while
SC writing is enabled.

You can't turn SC writing off in software can you? I was just wondering whether that indeed means that that entire 256 byte chunk of memory can't be used for anything useful when using SC RAM as RAM.
