I believe the program does not fail because the out-of-range NeXT DSP
external memory addresses are mapped back onto lower addresses.
For example, on an 8K dsp, an address like X:$B001 actually
writes to X:1 (external, of course = $A001).  This makes it
harder to figure out how much memory is actually out there.
