From C64-Wiki
Jump to navigationJump to searchPage 3 covers the memory locations 768-1023 ($0300-03FF). This page area, like Page 2, stores information for use by the Operating System and BASIC; including pointers for BASIC and KERNAL routines. There is also buffer space in this page for the tape I/O, BASIC text input, the keyboard queue, and a small space for user-defined data.
