When we restored the PDP-1 at CHM, we were worried that there might be
something useful in the memory that we would lose. We dumped the
first dozen or two locations manually, then toggled in a short program
I wrote to dump the remaining locations out serially via two of the
flags (one as a clock and one as data), and connected the flags via a
USB device (FTDI FT245, IIRC) to a laptop.
