ROM 5X -- hangs when enabling Mockingboard 4c+ #13

Description

@munsie

ROM 5X will hang when enabling a Mockingboard 4c+ which uses the $C4XX space for access to its hardware. This appears to be because the patch for handling the delete key is installed in the same region in bank 0 (see https://github.com/mgcaret/rom4x/blob/master/rom5x/B0_C4EE_del_key.s).

To test this on a IIc Plus with a Mockingboard 4c+ installed, drop into the monitor and do the following:
*C403:FF FF

On ROM 5, this will give you a new monitor prompt with a blinking cursor. On ROM 5x, the * will be printed for the prompt but the cursor will not be visible. Keyboard presses will no longer work. Due to the Mockingboard IO overriding the $C4XX space, the Apple IIc Plus will need to be cold restarted to recover.
