There are a number of zero page locations used by JiffyDOS. These
locations are also used by the JiffyDOS kernal built into RAMLink and
RAMDrive. It is best to avoid using these locations in your own
programs in order to retain complete JiffyDOS compatibility. At the
very least, you should make sure that your use of them does not
interfere with JiffyDOS' usage.
