I'm sure someone (cjl?) will know the answer to this nitpicky
question...

When an MRI occurs in the last word of a page (+177) and has bit
4 set ("this page" as opposed to page 0), is the datum accessed
on this page or the next one?  That is to say, by the time the
high 5 bits of the PC have been prepended to the low 7 bits of
the instruction, has the PC been incremented yet?

I would just try it but my 8/e is in Boston...

Thanks,   John
