I Have to analyze that further...

It's strange, yes. I thought it was probably to prevent
reverse-engineering?
I found yet another oddity speaking for that theory:
The second bank starts like this:
; Second bank
ORG $2000
RORG $F000
START2:
LDA $FFF8 ;4
JMP $BC96 ;3
See? That jump is heading towards nirvana!
And I think *just* tweaking the pointer wouldn't even
save any ROM in exchange for sacrificing them 6 bytes of
RAM...
Greetings,
Manuel
