Not quite. The C128 kernal and BASIC 7.0 are in use. After a GO 64 command
is issued the C128 kernal is switched out in favor of the C64 kernal, and
BASIC 7.0 is switched out in favor of BASIC 2.0

Best regards,

Change is inevitable,
except from vending machines!

IOW, you have the 128K RAM available via block switching ... whether
you can use it to good effect in a 4K game is another matter.
