You didn't have the STC (later STK) tape drives where only every other
jumper position was used but the CE documentation didn't mention the

I vaguely recall you grumbling about the CIG[1] block multiplexor

[1] An amusing name because at RCA CIG stood for characters[2]
in gap.
[2] We normally used a different word for the C.
