== Register 3 - RAM Banking ==
This register exists only in CPCs with 128K RAM (like the CPC 6128, or CPCs with [[Standard Memory Expansions]]). Note: In the CPC 6128, the register is a separate [[PAL16L8|PAL ]] that assists the Gate Array chip.

The Video RAM is always located in the first 64K, VRAM is in no way affected by this register.
To display a CPC image you will need to use a analogue monitor with a composite sync.

On a green screen (where all colours are shades of green), the colours (in the software/firmware colours), are in order of increasing intensity. Black is very dark, and white is bright green, and colour 13 is a medium green. (Thanks to [[Mark Rison|Mark Rison]] for this information)
