Allow membot to get/set the lowest free bank

Post by Peter Camilleri »


Currently, memtop allows the top installed bank to be read/updated. You read memtop, and write back with needed banks subtracted from the available count.

This allows a program to allocate banks "off-the-top"

If this ability were available in membot, banks could be allocated from low banks. This would allow the kernal and geos (or other system software) to allocate banks for their own usage and applications would not have to guess how many banks they need to skip off the low end.

By default, the first free bank would be 1. Updated to 10 if geos needed space.
