You questioned that static RAM could be OK. (see the quote from you at the top of this message)
I had already explained that I was talking about battery-backed static RAM when you posted that message.
When it comes to the other issue, if cpu:s start at memory address zero or not:
Most of them do. It is by far the most common start address.
IIRC the 68000 family was the first mot uP to start at addy 00 - ISTR the 6800s starting high.
for PCs its 0xAA55 or 0x55AA - i forgetted ;)
nah. That's the boot signature. 0700:0000 doesn't ring any bells for me though. I need to relocate ;) my notes on all that PC sheisse.
0x7c00
