Compaq 164SX user manual Clears the first 512 bytes of physical

Basic Alpha SRM Console Command Descriptions

Description

The deposit command writes data to the specified address, such as a memory location, register, device, or file. The defaults for address space, data size, and address are the last specified values. After initialization, the default for address space is physical memory; for data size, the default is a quadword; and for address, the default is zero.

An address or device can be specified by concatenating the device name with the address. For example, use pmem:0 and specify the size of the address space to be written. If a conflicting device, address, or data size is specified, the console ignores the command and issues an error response.
