[net.arch] Max address on 3B20 query

kendall@talcott.UUCP (Sam Kendall) (11/05/85)

On a 3B20S running System V Release 2.0.2, the maximum address seems
to be 0xFFFFF, which seems to mean 20-bit addressing.  Questions:

(1) Is this a hardware or software limit?
(2) If hardware, is it the same on the 3B20A?
    If software, how about for System V Release 2.1?  Release 3?
(3) Is the limit going to change?  It had better, for a decent virtual
    address space.
