Sounds like a jolly good idea.  I'd almost bet that one of the read only 
registers was used as a write latch, whose decoded output then determined 
which register the next read or write went to? Similar to how the WP-RS & 
WP-II worked to address the 32 registers in that chip?  But I have no clue 
which of the rick Uland's that google would disgorge is our Rick Uland.

Cheers, Gene Heskett
