The amperage sounds right, but I wonder if that 1Mb is 1 x 1Mb module or
4 x 256Kb modules (given the year, it's probably 4 x 256Kb).

Someone (Cadminton?) made a 1Mb 11/730 and 11/750 memory board with 256Kx1
chips on it; if you could get 8 of those, you'd cut your total power
consumption by an amp or two. I think I only have one. All the rest
is real DEC MS750CA (I think) memory - two square feet of 4164s.
