The value of 1 for PS (byte 00, bit 7) indicates that the page can be saved to nonvolatile
RAM. This is done by setting the SP field in the MODE SELECT command. See MODE SELECT for
details.
Note:
All of the Spectra 2K library's mode parameter pages can be saved
to nonvolatile RAM, although not all of the parameters can be
changed with the MODE SELECT command.
