The PFM512 boot device modification replaces the standard 16KiB 28-pin boot EPROM with a 512KiB 32-pin Atmel 29c040 flash chip. The chip is visible in four 128KiB banks residing at memory pages 0xF0 - 0xFF. Each page is selected via two re-purposed (normally unused) TMS9901 outputs:

PFM512 Bank Selection
