The BBC Master, the Aries-B20 and B-32, the Integra-B and the Watford 32 RAM card have shadow screen memory. The following code (taken from HADFS[1] and HostFS[2]) will page in or out the video memory transparently using the appropriate OSBYTE call to do so.

 \ Screen selection routines
 \ =========================
 \ On entry, A=0 - select main memory
 \           A=1 - select video memory
 \ On exit,  all registers corrupted
 \
 .vramSelect
 PHA:TAX                   :\ A=0 main RAM, A=1 video RAM
 LDA #108:JSR OSBYTE       :\ Attempt to select Master/Integra-B video RAM
 PLA:INX:BNE vramOk        :\ X<>255, successful
 EOR #1:TAX                :\ A=1 main RAM, A=0 video RAM
 LDA #111:JMP OSBYTE       :\ Attempt to select Aries/Watford video RAM
 .vramOk
 RTS

Using this code, filing system or other code can selectively access main or video memory according to the standard &FFFFxxxx, &FFFExxxx and &FFFDxxxx address ranges.

 \ Decide what local memory to transfer data to/from
 \ -------------------------------------------------
 \ On entry, DADDR+0...DADDR+3=data transfer address
 \                           A=&Fx - read (load) data
 \                           A=&Ex - write (save) data
 \

 AND #&F0:PHA              :\ Push transfer flag, b7=1 for IO transfer
 LDX DADDR+2               :\ Get address &--XX----
 INX:BEQ TransIOGo         :\ &FFFFxxxx - current IO memory
 INX:BEQ TransIODisplay    :\ &FFFExxxx - use current display memory
 INX:BEQ TransIOShadow     :\ &FFFDxxxx - shadow memory
 BNE TransIOGo             :\ Not &FFFDxxxx - use current IO memory

 LDA #1:JSR vramSelect     :\ Page in shadow memory
 PLA:ORA #1:PHA            :\ Set b0 for screen, page in video RAM
 :
 .TransIOGo
 \ At this point, the byte on the stack holds
 \   &E0 - load is to current memory
 \   &E1 - load is to screen memory
 \   &F0 - save is from current memory
 \   &F1 - save is from screen memory
 \ ie b7=1 - IO memory, b4=save/load, b0=main/video memory
 \
 \
 \ Do IO memory transfer here
 \
 \
 .TransExitDone
 PLA:BPL TransExitRelease  :\ Pop transfer flag, b7=0 - Tube release
 ROR A:BCS TransExitScreen :\ b0=1, Screen release

 \ At this point, the byte on the stack holds

 \   &0 - save is from Tube
 \ ie b7=0 - Tube memory
 \
 \
 \ Do Tube transfer here
 \

 JMP TransExitDone         :\ Jump to release Tube

Electron

This is untested at present, but this appears to be the equivalent code for the Electron

\ Electron screen selection routine
\ =================================
\ On entry, A=0 - select main memory
\           A=1 - select video memory
\ On exit,  A corrupted, X,Y preserved
\
 .vramSelect
ROR A                      :\ Move selection in bit 0 to Carry
LDA &027F:BPL vramOk       :\ No shadow RAM present
ROR A:STA &FC7F            :\ Move Carry A to bit 7, set paging flag
