Oops -- yes, exactly right. That's what I get for not getting
enough sleep lately. It's an M8189.

Yes, it's located at 17774400, looks like it's configured for the
default location.

Drat, it doesn't seem to work. Here's the procedure I tried:

1. Halt the CPU and enter ODT
2. 17774400/000201 400
3. Set halt button back to Run
4. Examine 1000 and up... nothing there but 000000's and 177777's
