LDY #0 \ If we set Y = SC = 0 and fall through into ZES2 STY SC \ below, then we will zero-fill 255 bytes starting from \ SC - in other words, we will zero-fill the whole of \ page X
STX SC+1 \ We want to zero-fill page X, so store this in the \ high byte of SC, so SC(1 0) is now pointing to page X LDA #0 \ If we set Y = SC = 0 and fall through into ZES2 STA SC \ below, then we will zero-fill 255 bytes starting from TAY \ SC, then SC + 255, and then the rest of the page - in \ other words, we will zero-fill the whole of page X
LDY #0 \ If we set Y = SC = 0 and fall through into ZES2 STY SC \ below, then we will zero-fill 255 bytes starting from \ SC - in other words, we will zero-fill the whole of \ page X STX SC+1 \ We want to zero-fill page X, so store this in the \ high byte of SC, so SC(1 0) is now pointing to page X
