+RAM (data) memory map
+=====================
+
+The data memory map (for PIC18F458) looks like this:
+
+ 0x000-0x05f    Access bank RAM - RAM locations accessible via
+                 access bank instructions; also form part of
+                 RAM page 0
+ 0x060-0x0ff    Remainder of RAM page 0, accessible only via correct
+                 BSR setting (ie, BSR==0), INDF, etc.
+
+ 0x100-0x1ff    RAM page 1, accessible only via bank switching etc.
+ 0x200-0x2ff    RAM page 2, accessible only via bank switching etc.
+ 0x300-0x3ff    RAM page 3, accessible only via bank switching etc.
+ 0x400-0x4ff    RAM page 4, accessible only via bank switching etc.
+ 0x500-0x5ff    RAM page 5, accessible only via bank switching etc.
+
+ 0x600-0xeff    Nothing here, don't try to access.
+
+ 0xf00-0xf5f    SFR's (memory-mapped peripherals etc.) accessible
+                 only via correct BSR, INDF, etc - but these are only
+                 the CAN SFR's and we do not use the CAN controller.
+ 0xf60-0xfff    SFR's accessible via access bank (also form part
+                 of RAM page 15).
+
+
+See common.inc for actual uses of the RAM areas.
+
+
+Program (flash etc.) memory map
+===============================
+
+Program memory map (for PIC18F458) looks like this:
+
+  0x00 0000-    Program memory
+  0x00 7fff      Contains actual program instructions and can also
+                 contain preprogrammed data provided via special .asm
+                 files.  Notable contents and addresses:
+                   0x00 0000  reset vector
+                   0x00 0008  high-priority interrupt vector
+                   0x00 0018  low-priority interrupt vector
+                 See common.inc for some special tables in here, for
+                 morse messages, pin/hardware-object definitions, etc.
+                
+  0x20 0000-   ID locations
+  0x20 0007      Programming which varies per PIC.  Programmed by
+                 idlocs*.asm which are made by make-idlocs and
+                 included in perpic*.hex.  Contents:
+
+                0x20 0000
+                  bits 7-5 = 000
+                  bits 4-0 = PIC number (guaranteed to be
+                             in the range 0..31 inclusive)
+                0x20 0001
+                  bit 7     = 1 for the main PIC (#0)
+                              0 otherwise
+                  bits 0-6  = currently unused, set to 0
+
+                0x20 0002-  } not currently used,
+                0x20 0007   }  may contain anything
+                
+  0x30 0000-    Hardware configuration
+  0x30 000f      Defines (clock source, WDT operation, etc.)
+                 Probably best not to touch.  `config.asm' provides
+                 correct contents, which is included in *-withcfg.hex
+                 and perpic*.hex.
+                
+  0x3f fffe-   Hardware device ID
+  0x3f ffff      Fixed at manufacturing time; can be read to discover
+                 hardware type and version (probably not very useful)
+
+  0xf0 0000-    EEPROM data area
+  0xf0 00ff      Not currently used by us
+
+  0x01 0000-    } These locations, not listed above,       
+  0x1f ffff     }   do not correspond to anything - there  
+  0x20 0008-    }   is no hardware or memory in the chip   
+  0x2f ffff     }   at these locations.                    
+  0x30 0010-    }
+  0x3f fffd     } Accessing them isn't useful
+  0x40 0000-    }   and should probably be avoided.
+  0xef ffff     }
+
