Ah... ok... 0xfcc049 means "drive present (FF=yes)" - so you'll want to return 0xffff if it's read as a word... I think I recall Xenix checked for this sort of thing too - but for the disk present flag at 0xfcc041 instead.

I pretty much return 0xff or 0xf-something for non-implemented memory as a rule (except for those spaces that should cause bus errors.) I sometimes use 0xf7 or some other value, but almost always use odd values incase there's a bug that uses that as a pointer - in which case, it'll get caught as an odd-address exception.

Also be aware that some I/O spaces repeat, for example the VIA and SCC regs show up at multiple addresses so you need to figure out a binary AND mask when accessing them...
i.e. (addr & 0x79)
