Well, in PIM2, 3rd Edition (in german, the only I have at hand at
the   moment)  Wirth  describes in   chapter   31 about   "device
processes, concurrency and  interrupts" (translated from  german,
may vary in english) a possibility to give the absolute address
of a variable on a pdp-11 by saying:

VAR s[777560B] : BITSET;
    x[777562B] : CHAR;

Try, whether your compiler groks it. (I doubt it.)
