..or "Documented"/ "Undocumented" memory bank? Apologies for joining this discussion sooo late.
Cinefil-san's link ( http://www.webtech.co.jp/company/doc/undocumented_mem/io_sdi... that is quoted, uncorrupted, in Google's search is a clencher in my view:

It states the option to setup each I/O port for access ('user/trouble shooter access', I take it) to either set of mem (register) bank, , through virtual dip switches. Now how to tag each of these banks of registers? "accessible" and "shadow" banks certainly give a practical idea of how these banks are actually used and function (would the latter mem bank function as a secret back-up storage that only Sys Managers/Trouble shooters are aware of, perhaps?); but are there any technical term the profession use to differentiate those? HMHO, Cinefil-san's 2nd link address and text gives it away: "undocumented" mem bank, which then sheds a clearer light on the meaning of 表バンク as "documented" mem bank. Response comments welcome...

accessible memory bank, shadowed memory bank

Oops, you selected the field as computers, so this term probably refers to memory banks. The above terms are more appropriate here
