 - Find out more what ports F2-FF do.

 io port 0xff (misc) is on the I/O board.
 
+The date on the backplane of the system is 1978. It originally used dynamic RAM boards for memory, there is support
+on the 'mapper' board for generating row/col adrs for them, and four ram board selects. It was replaced with a static
+RAM in 1982, based on the date of the boards in the system. Two selects go to each 32k board and there is a DIP switch
+on the boards to say which of the four selects it responds to.
+
+The three byte fifo and a register jams a zero onto the data bus (when?), and we have the source for the CP/M version
+of the debugger/boot prom to see how interrupt handling occurs.
+
+I can sort of piece together what Terse implements and what it evolved from. I think it started as the Caltech FORTH
+implemented for the PDP-10 and 11 with a lot of words stripped out, and others added. This was submitted to DECUS as
+submission 11-232 but much of the early DECUS stuff has been lost, so I've not been able to find a copy to see how the
+FORTH kernel was implemented. I do have the Caltech writeup on it though,
