I agree, not really needed for emulation too, but it's true that when
you nearly have a description of the inner working of this part of the
MMU, it would be nice to understand the reason and duplicate even the
strangest effect :)

I think I have now reverse-engineered how the access signals for the RAM
banks are generated for the Ricoh (aka non-IMP) MMU. Phey, I fear I'm
going to dream of logic gates and Boolean algebra tonight...

I can indeed see the "hole" for the bank0=128k, bank1=2M configuration.
No RAM access signals are generated for this configuration and A21..A18
= 0001, which is exactly the address range from $40000 to $7ffff. I'll
see if I can find some time during the holidays to transfer my
hand-written notes into some kind of documentation of my findings.

Good news, this might be useful too for other project like MIST or similar which try to re-build a complete STF/STE with VHDL and require a low level description of each chip.
