R.C. Pro-Am II/RAM map

The following article is a RAM map for R.C. Pro-Am II.

• (T) denotes temporary use. Don't mess with these.
• Unless otherwise noted, a size of 04 means one byte per racer.
• Plane bytes shared by plane weapons too ("06" range is not a typo).
• Coordinates are listed as either "map" - the standard Cartesian layout,

or "room" - the isometric layout visible to the player.
