Re: Best place to hide about 30 bytes in //e RAM

Steven,

I don't mean to step on Eagan's thread, but your idea of stealing a few
bytes from the beginning of the stack page is super nifty.

Frankly, I never considered it, until now. Thanks.

I wonder how far into that stack page a guy could go before he ran into
trouble? I guess it 'depends'. Hmmmm.

BTW, your tease about the RamFAST ROM mod just screams for more detail.

Apologies, Eagan.
