- i8085-based IO Processor (IOP)
- Up to 1MW of main memory
- Up to 768KW of main memory

Changes made here will not take effect until the system is reset. Note
that memory sizes over 768KW (1.5MB) never officially existed on real Star
hardware and may cause issues with some software that isn't prepared for
