MOTOROLA
A normal mode is selected when MODB is logic 1 during reset. One of three reset 
vectors is fetched from address $FFFA–$FFFF, and program execution begins 
from the address indicated by this vector. If MODB is logic 0 during reset, the 
special mode reset vector is fetched from addresses $BFFA–$BFFF, and software 
has access to special test features. Refer to 
Section 5. Resets and Interrupts
. 
RBOOT — Read Bootstrap ROM Bit
Valid only when SMOD is set (bootstrap or special test mode); can be written 
only in special modes
0 = Bootloader ROM disabled and not in map 
1 = Bootloader ROM enabled and in map at $BE00–$BFFF 
SMOD and MDA — Special Mode Select and Mode Select A Bits
The initial value of SMOD is the inverse of the logic level present on the MODB 
pin at the rising edge of reset. The initial value of MDA equals the logic level 
present on the MODA pin at the rising edge of reset. These two bits can be read 
at any time. They can be written anytime in special modes. MDA can be written 
only once in normal modes. SMOD cannot be set once it has been cleared.
