Uh Oh! The dreaded ancient computer history thread has evolved again. And
to think that I started it too.

Burroughs: B6500, B6700, B7500, B7800, etc. The tag bits constrained
how a word was interpreted for both data and instructions.
RCA: CDP, 601. The tag bits were under programmer control and had no
effect on the interpretation of words, other than triggering an
interrupt and being testable.
I remember the 301, 3301 and 501. What was the 601?
