Correct.  We are not talking PC DRAM here - this was custom hardware
with a circuit breaker that really cut power to everything.  Often
when you powered it up before the firmware got around to forcing a

clearly see parts of the display.  To be honest it surprised the hell
out of me the first time I saw it too.
