Bank switching is a technique used in computer design to increase the amount of usable memory beyond the amount directly addressable by the processor instructions...

identical memory banks of RAM, and use bank switching to switch between them. Harvard architecture computers have (at least) two very different banks of memory...

In DOS memory management, expanded memory is a system of bank switching that provided additional memory to DOS programs beyond the limit of conventional...

addressing up to 1 megabyte of RAM via bank switching. While numerous 6502-based processors can perform bank switching, they achieve this via separate logic...

Beginning with the VCS version of Asteroids in 1980, many games used bank switching to allow 8 KB or larger cartridges. By the time of the system's peak...

systems, especially 8-bit systems, used very simple MMUs to perform bank switching. Early systems used base and bounds addressing that further developed...

Microcomputer, Electron and Master-series microcomputer was Acorn's bank switching implementation, providing for permanent system expansion in the days...

hardware. The reservation may be permanent, or temporary (as achieved via bank switching). An example of the latter is found in the Commodore 64, which uses...

game memory protection behavior. The MMC1 chip allows for switching of different memory banks. Program ROM can be selected in 16KB or 32KB chunks, and...

limits can be overcome using special techniques. Bank switching allows blocks of RAM memory to be switched into the processor's address space when required...

for bank-switching 16 kB, organized as four 4 kB blocks, mapped onto 8kB of address space. The lower 4 kB did not change, and system could bank switch between...

memory was mapped on to the I/O area, so it was controlled without bank switching. These features made the X1 very powerful for game software. Despite...
