The vector table consists of a 256 bytes long vector list specific to the 68k.

Each vector is a 32-bit address, meaning the table holds 64 vectors. Each entry is used by the 68k in precise cases.

All bootable 68k programs must have a vector table at their very beginning. The system ROM and games have their own.

Is $C00426 an universal BIOS call for a complete reset ?
