The Direct Page is much like the zeropage on the 6502, but can be moved around to anywhere within the first 64K bank. It is technically, as its namesake, the 256 bytes accessible via Direct Page Addressing, and has special handling of wrapping behavior. Colloquial usage of this term will invariably refer to the Direct Page Register itself and by extension the group of Direct addressing modes it affects, due to the other addressing modes not being limited to 256 bytes. The wrapping behavior will always confine it to Bank 0, but if in emulation mode will also confine it to the zeropage when DL is zero (see case A of [2]).
The direct page may overlap the stack.[4]
There are two ways to relocate the direct page:
On the SPC700, the direct page can only be in one of two places: either coincident with page zero or page one.
