Yep. I think you are right. I had the B and device code switched.

Hi,
I think if this is similar to the Rolm's virtual consoles, the correct
syntax would be to enter the device address followed by "B" for boot. i.e.
"33B" would do a channel boot from the floppy drive (Miltope type).
"T" would print the current register contents, and an octal number followed
by "/" would print the memory's contents of the address given and wait for
the input of a new value. Just enter keeps the original value and steps to
the next memory location.
Best regards,
Erik.

I am not sure what the correct device code is for a DG Desktop Generation
machine,
but try something in the 20's or 30's.
