I'm on the western side of the state, mid-way up, 5 minutes from the Ohio line. I have an old church building with maybe ten pdp11s and VAXen and would like to host a pdp11 programming / work session / mixer someday if I can get the space into a presentable state! On Tue, Feb 20, 2018 at 6:42 PM

In order to connect to the outside world, you need a way to queue event based on cycle counts, execution of particular address or particular instructions. This allows you to connect to the outside world. Other than that it is just looking up instructions in an instruction table. Dwight __
