The book says 11-bit MOS RAM. What's 11 bits?
To a first approximation, 2 more than 9 :-)
It's probably ECC memory; ie one step better than parity in that it can
correct (not just detect) single-bit errors. ECC memory was used on 11/44
and 11/83, 11/93. How big is the M8579? QBus? Unibus? I can't find it
in my guide.
