Sheesh... I missed it somehow, but it is in there.  ED & EDMK did support
ASCII mode, and used x'3x' zones in that case.

This old, possibly original (it has no date), Principles of Operation was a
whopping 168 pages.  But I haven't read the whole thing :-).  ED & EDMK are
listed in the "Logical Operations" section, whereas PACK & UNPK are in the
"Decimal Arithmetic" section.  You know which pair can cause a S0C7 though.
