I'm 99.44% sure MC was born, and stayed a "model A"

ISTR someone looking at putting ITS support into the KL model B
microcode (I can't remember if it was Alan Bawden at MIT, or Stu
Grossman while at DEC).  They decided not to, but I can't speak to why.

The BIG difference between "A" and "B" is that the model B implements
Extended Addressing.  Section zero of an "Extended" KL should be
largely identical to a non-extended KL. Later on One Word Global byte
pointers were made to work in section zero.
