The lower I/O area ($00FF8000-$00FFFFFF) is not present as such, i.e. 
quite normal RAM may reside there, just as in any other place. In that 
case no distinction will be made between ST-RAM and TT-RAM - the whole 
of the RAM used by MagiC Mac, even that above 16 MB, will be made 
available as ST-RAM.

This means, of course, that in this case programs can make no I/O 
accesses to this area! If this bit is cleared (not set), a program can 
make accesses there nevertheless and count on a bus error if no 
Atari-compatible hardware (such as McSTout, say) is installed there.
