The 4-16 MB memory boards in my 6386 may be different from yours
since the sockets are not marked "U24", "U26" et al... they are marked
M09DS, L09ES, G09FS, ...

These boards have 8 SIMMs mounted horizontally on the left, 8 on the right
and two DIP switches in the top center (along with various other TTL).
According to the installation manual, the memory is arranged:

--0--	DIP DIP  --3--
--1--		 --2--
--2--		 --1--
--3--		 --0--
--0--		 --3--
--1--		 --2--
--2--		 --1--
--3--		 --0--

where 0 is the first meg of memory, etc.  There is no clue as to which
of the 4 SIMM's in a megabyte has the high order bits in the word.
