DEC have 0 as the LSB (rightmost bit on the panel)

YEs, it's working correctly. Remember that the address is actually a 
_byte_ address (the LSB of the address selects the byte within the word 
for byte operations). The front panel accesses a word (2 bytes) at a 
time, the address is always even (LSB = 0) and increments by 2 after each 
EXAMine or DEPosit.
