That's correct, except that you have to use the Supercharger RAM write
mechanism, not a straight STA $F000, because the read/write address line
is not at the cart port. Someone else can better fill you in on the
details if you need.

Correct, plus you can also have one 2K RAM bank along with the 2K ROM.

I think so too, though I'm not the SC expert around here.
