This section of the ROM is concerned with controlling the machine hardware at the fine detail level and is known as the ROM BIOS (Basic Input Output System). It is structured in such a way that most of the functions a machine code programmer requires, such as keyboard and video drivers, are readily available."

Although this is largely a text-driven program, and consequently of less use to the programmer, a close examination reveals many points not documented by manufacturers."

Particular attention is paid to the Workspace Area, that section of RAM from F380H to FFFFH, as this is used as a scratchpad by the BIOS and the BASIC Interpreter and contains much information of use to any application program."
