34 x 128 pixel matrix driver
row. After the very last address (X = 127 and Y = 4), the address pointers wrap around to
address (X = 0 and Y = 0). The Y address 5 is reserved for icon data and is not affected
by the addressing mode. Please note that in bank 4 only the LSB (DB0) of the data is
written into the RAM and in bank 5 only the 5th data bit (DB4) is written into the RAM.
