GIME video uses a "flat" memory model, as I recall, where the data is
placed in the physical memory space 0-512kB regardless of task
mappings. So, to extend the GIME to allow 2MB of memory access, you
just create a register with 2 bits, and those 2 bits are used as a video
"bank" register. The GIME can only access 512kB at a time, but it can
access it anywhere within the 2MB memory address space, with the
requirement that memory access cannot span 2 512kB banks.
