I've searched in that hardware manual for rpb and found out, that the
console code supports a F[ind]/RPB, trieed it:

>>> 
rtVAX 300 V1.2

E...D...C...B...A...9...8...

>>> f/rpb

?2D FND ERR

Since we now know, that I have 4M*32 Bit what pretty much calculate to
16Mbyte I let be the investigations on this one for now..

(Yes, it works out that I've sometimes an idiot)
