I have looked at the 6800 in the past but never used it. I know it is very, very similar to the 6502, and I was just looking back at my address-decoding page in the 6502 primer to see if there would be something to help you, but I guess now I have to ask for more specifics. What parts seem the most mysterious?

I'm wondering about your RAM and ROM sizes too. I assume you mean 64Kx8 (like a 27c512) ROMs and 32Kx8 RAM (like a 62256); but the 6800 has a memory map of 64KB, so you cannot get 160KB of memory, plus I/O in that space, unless you do some sort of banking arrangement with external hardware. A beginner definitely won't be using that much memory anyway.

I am reviving that memory problem. I now have decided 16kx4 ROM and 16kx4 RAM. The rest of thememory is for I/O

16Kx4?? Where will you find that? 16Kx8 is a standard size for ROM. To get 16Kx8 RAM, you just use a 32Kx8 (since there's no 16Kx8) and one address pin doesn't get used the normal way.
