I don't think you can address all 6K at once linearly because the 2600 
prevents that.  I think you only have access to two of the three 2K banks 
at a time but you should be able to shuffle them as you like just as any 
banked ROM does, but with the added plus of being able to write back to any 
of that memory (which we know comes in very handy for things like 
self-modifying code or pseudo bitmaps).

Also, I believe that with multiloads you can decide where and how much RAM 
you want to overwrite, down to individual 256 byte chunks, right?
