 Once PBS decides to act, it performs following operations in every cycle: Once PBS decides to act, it performs following operations in every cycle:
  
-  - It uses an internal copy of ''S_BASE'' register to determine where to fetch the graphics data from. ''S_BASE'' is a 16-bit register, so the addressable memory is 64KiB - one memory bank. Which of the eight memory banks is used is controlled by bits ''S_RAMBANK'' in register ''PBS_CONTROL'' (''$40:210''). +  - It uses an internal copy of ''S_BASE'' register to determine where to fetch graphics data from.

   - Finally, the internal copy of ''S_BASE'' is incremented by ''S_STEP'', yielding the address of a byte to use in the next cycle. With a typically organized graphics data, this value is equal to 1.   - Finally, the internal copy of ''S_BASE'' is incremented by ''S_STEP'', yielding the address of a byte to use in the next cycle.
