+===== 2003 mapper emulation bugs (rev5+) =====
+  * RTC port 0xCA always returns either 0x94 (while a command is being processed) or 0x84 (when it is done). It is unknown if anything beyond the "set slot ID" command is emulated.
+  * All other bytes in the 0xC0~0xDF space have all 8 bits writable. Bytes 0xE0~0xFF are not writable and always return 0x00.
+  * Port 0xCF is not a mirror of port 0xC0 and has no effect, though it is set to 0x3F on boot just like byte 0xC0.
+  * Setting bit 0 of port 0xCE disconnects the NOR flash from the ROM bus (memory area 0x20000 - 0xFFFFF returns 0xFF bytes).
