That does not ring any bells. There is no indication in the CC3 service manual
that any of the A lines are reversed; p51.
The GIME settings regarding ROMs, select external 32K ROMs or 16K internal + 16K
external, so that should not be a problem. $C000 in memory should be $0000 in
the EPROM. $E000 in memory should be $2000 in the EPROM.
I've programmed a custom Disk ROM so that a special Backup program resides at
$E000, second half of a 16K EPROM. This is installed in a Disk Controller.
