BANK	CONFIGURATION
0	RAM(0) only
1	RAM(1) only
2	RAM(2) only
3	RAM(3) only
4	Internal ROM , RAM(0), I/O
5	Internal ROM , RAM(1), I/O
6	Internal ROM , RAM(2), I/O
7	Internal ROM , RAM(3), I/O
8	External ROM , RAM(0), I/O
9	External ROM , RAM(1), I/O
10	External ROM , RAM(2), I/O
11	External ROM , RAM(3), I/O
12	Kernal and Internal ROM(LOW) , RAM(0), I/O

To look at a particular bank (in the machine language monitor, for example), type BANK n (n=0-15) and enter the monitor. From within the monitor, the four-digit address is preceded by an additional hexadecimal digit (0-F) to form a five-digit hexadecimal number that indicates the absolute address of a location.

This procedure is described in detail in the Commodore 128 Programmer's Reference Guide.
