Am I getting this right? Are you suggesting a ROM chip for $8000-$ffff?
Because how would you be able to use your calc without RAM? And even if you
had RAM installed at all the fixed RAM locations and ROM in user space, you
wouldn't be able to calculate anything on the home screen, because where
would the input buffer go? And the floating point / operator stacks?
