In Zx Spectrum Next there is a lot of RAM. The RAM is divided into 16Kb banks with 256K reserved for ROMs and DivMMC interface, so in practice we have 48 banks in Next 1MB version or 112 banks in Next 2MB version mapped as follow:
| Bank # | Description |
|---|---|
| 0..7 | same as standard Spectrum 128K |
| 8..47 | available on all Next |
| 48..111 | available only on Next 2MB version |
NextZXOS uses the first 9 banks. Banks starting at 9 are always available to the programmer
| Bank # | Description |
|---|---|
| 0 | standard Spectrum 48K (addr. 49152..65535) |
| 1 | RAMdisk |
| 2 | standard Spectrum 48K (addr. 32768..49151) |
| 3 | RAMdisk |
| 4 | RAMdisk |
| 5 | standard Spectrum 48K (addr. 16384..32767) |
