Unknown Registers ($C000-$DFFF/$E000-$FFFF, write)

Mask: $E001

One of them will select the nametable mirroring, but it is not known which one, and what the other register does.

Unknown Register ($4903, read)

Mask: unknown

D~7654 3210
  ---------
  .... .S..
        +--- Status bit of unknown meaning

$4903 seems to indicate the presence of a device of some kind and is only read when the computer’s menu, or some of its individual applications, boot.

Keyboard Row Select ($4904, write)

Mask: unknown

Selects the row of the keyboard from which the button state will be returned when reading from $4906.

Unknown register ($4905, write)

Mask: unknown

D~7654 3210
  ---------
  ?... ..??

This register is written to by some of of the applications at the end of their NMI handler.

Keyboard Button State ($4906, read)

Mask: unknown

Returns the button states of the keyboard row selected via $4904. The mapping of keys to bits and rows matches that of the Subor keyboard.

Unknown Registers ($4910-$491F, read/write)

Unknown Registers ($4111, write; $5000-5003/$5080-$5083, read)

These registers are accessed when selecting “save” and “load” from the text editor (“Edytor tekstu”).

Mask: unknown

D~7654 3210
  ---------
  B... ....
  +--------- 0=Ready, 1=Busy

Printer Port Output ($4900/$4901, write)

Mask: unknown

The text editor writes every byte to be printed both to $4900 and $4901.

Note

The Arabic version of the Asder PC-95 Educational Computer most likely originally used this mapper as well. The publicly-available ROM image has obviously been hacked for iNES Mapper 241 and crashes at several points.
The Korean version uses different hardware and adds a speech chip, which are described by NES 2.0 Mapper 531.
