Depends...  Reset vector should be at address FFFE-FFFF... is this prom
mapped so it's address 3FFE-3FFF is actually the processors FFFE-FFFF?
If not, the reset vectors are contained in onboard ROM or the CPU's
embedded ROM.
If this was really the FFFE-FFFF in the CPU, the A000 would be the absolute
address of the beginning of the reset code.
