 Of special note within this section are the ranges $0000-$00FF, and $0100-$01FF, called the Zero Page and the Stack respectively. Addresses in the Zero Page can be accessed more quickly by special opcodes, and addresses in the stack are used by certain operations such as calling and returning from subroutines. Of special note within this section are the ranges $0000-$00FF, and $0100-$01FF, called the Zero Page and the Stack respectively.

-Addresses $2000, $2001, and $2006 are used for controlling the [[hardware:audio|Audio Coprocessor]]. The first two are used for triggering the RESET and NMI vectors respectively. The high bit of $2006 enables or disables the ACP. The lower seven bits determine the sample rate of the audio system by way of setting the number of clock cycles between the ACP receiving IRQ events.+Addresses $2000, $2001, and $2006 are used for controlling the [[hardware:audio|Audio Coprocessor]].

 A byte read from one of these locations will return 6 binary button states from the respective controller. Consecutive reads to the same port will toggle the "select" line on the controller port, causing the controller to change which six button states are being returned. More on reading gamepads can be found in its own article. A byte read from one of these locations will return 6 binary button states from the respective controller.
