Note that the 'high' end of that range of addresses is used by the program for the stack (starting at #9CFE-9CFF), so any patches which are placed at that end of the above range may get overwritten during run-time.

Another random correction - in the TECHNICA for the Advnaced MM/JSW Trainer:
"the room-setup patch-vector must select Bank 1 (for Rooms 0-31) as the one that is paged into #C000-FFFF before it alters the room-datum, and must switch back to Bank 0 afterwards. It does so by writing %00001BBB (where BBB are the bank to page in) to the hardware-switch at I/O address #7FFD."
The element in bold should read %00010BBB.
