The reason we set ours to 4200000000000 was because it was specified
as one of the addresses that was the same backward and forward when
converted for use by DOS PC emulation packages.  I think IBM even used
to have a utility where you could enter the address you had on the 400
and it would give it back to you reversed.  It was this reversed
number you would enter for emulation.
