Notes:

  1. The order of the split image files is:
       even (low) / odd (high)
    The even ROM is connected to the low eight bits of the data bus and contains even bytes (0, 2, 4...)
       Significant bytes: FFF8h: jmp instr. (EAh), FFFFh: machine model (F8h or FCh)
    The odd ROM is connected to the high eight bits of the data bus and contains odd bytes (1, 3, 5...)
       Significant bytes: FFFFh: segment checksum byte
    ROMs that are part of the same even / odd pair are read concurrently (at the same time).
    To the system this configuration appears as a single 16-bit wide ROM chip.
  2. ROM subsytem consisting of 4 memory chips and a 16-bit data bus. Image order:
       even / odd (seg. #1)
       even / odd (seg. #2)
  3. ROM subsytem consisting of 4 memory chips and a 32-bit data bus. Image order:
       even #1 / odd #1 (low word)
       even #2 / odd #2 (high word)
