Yep, although like the DCC clones it has an "extended" mode
which allows it to address more than 32KW of memory by
restricting indirection to one level. I've been looking for
one of these for a *long* time for my nova collection.

Keronix was a major vendor of aftermarket core memory for
the Nova, Their memory products were somewhat better than
DG's; when DG shipped 8K boards Keronix shipped 16K, when
DG finally figured out how to build 16K boards Keronix
shipped 32Ks.

When the Keronix factory burned to the ground we only
somewhat jokingly referred to it as having been
struck by "DeCastro lightning".
