INES Mapper 237

iNES Mapper 237 represents the Teletubbies 420-in-1 multicart.

No bus conflicts on writes:

                  +-------------- lock (0:allow further writes  1:only writes to bbb are allowed

The mt bits interact, so it might be more convenient to think of them together:

 00 - 128 KiB UNROM
 40 - defective interaction; UNROM but the lsb of the latch is ignored and treated as 0
 80 - 16 KiB NROM (PRG A14 is connected to lsb of latch)
 C0 - 32 KiB NROM (PRG A14 is connected to CPU A14)
