Note: The 11/'73' CPU powers up with the cache enabled, even for ODT!
So if you write xxx into some location, if you then read it back, you will get
the correct data even if the memory location is busted - the CPU is getting
the (correct) data from the cache. To have your 'memory' reads and writes
actually go to the memory, you need to turn off the cache:
17777746/ 02000
Note that starting the machine does an INIT, which will again enable the
cache.

Currently has only the memory chip info, I'll add the config stuff as I get it
doped out.
