I have 1M of memory.

Sure you're not confusing the 11/23 with the 11/23+?   I was poking at
4.6M+'s SYSGEN and it wouldn't accept 11/23 as an answer.

The difference between the 11/23 and 11/23+ is the amount of memory. The
original 11/23 could not go above 256K... If you have more, then you
actually have an 11/23+.

  In practice, though, the vast majority of systems out there that say
"PDP-11/23" (not -PLUS) on the front are in fact capable of 22-bit
addressing; you've gotta look at the etch rev of the CPU board.   See my
other email.
