banked memory

The tag 'banked memory' appears in discussions about retrocomputing projects that push the limits of early microprocessors. In the context of running Zork on an Intel 4004-based single-board computer, banked memory refers to techniques used to expand the addressable memory beyond the processor's native 4-bit addressing. This allows larger programs like Zork to run on hardware with severe memory constraints. The tag covers topics such as memory banking, hardware hacking, and software optimization for vintage CPUs. It is relevant for enthusiasts interested in retro hardware, low-level programming, and creative workarounds for memory limitations in classic computing systems.
