Upon second thought about all of this, I think DASM neither does know
these things, nor should it know them. Basically it's on Stellas side to
know all these things, like where is RAM/ROM and what registers does the
VCS have.
For DASM probably everything is just a big address/name map, it doesn't
know anything about the target machine. Even vcs.h is in the end just a
user defined file. If I wanted to I could rename WSYNC and VSYNC into Hans
and Franz...
Greetings,
Manuel
