   * IOB2: Set to 0 to enable internal ROM
+Note: these can be used with the "External Memory Control" register, in that case they are controlled by the CPU core automatically depending on the address being accessed.
+For example in external address mode 2 or 3 (4 ROMs mode):
+^Pin   ^Address range^
+|IOB0  |100000-1FFFFF|
+|IOB1  |200000-2FFFFF|
+|IOB2  |300000-3FFFFF|
+|ROMCSB|008000-0FFFFF|
+In external address mode 0: ROMCSB is the only one used for the whole range (note: ROMCSB is not wired to anything, so in this area no ROM will be enabled)
+In external mode 1 (2 ROMs mode):
+^Pin   ^Address range^
+|IOB1  |200000-3FFFFF|
+|ROMCSB|008000-1FFFFF|
+Additionally, the end of the address space can also receive RAM (in the cartridge), this is configured separately and different RAM sizes are possible.
