In Tower32/[64]xx Rel 2.0x there is a program called show (/etc/show). This
program is run when you go multiuser and the output saved in /etc/show.out.
One line of the output is:

	Total Good Physical Memory:           16771072 Bytes (Decimal)

On Tower32/200 and Tower32/700 and probably Tower32/600 (Rel 3.xx) the
equivalent program is /etc/sysdef.  It is not run at boot time.  On a 700
the output contains these lines:

	Memory Carrier 0:				16 Megabytes
	Memory Carrier 1:				0 Megabytes
