Yes, the PDP11 Architecture Handbook was a post-facto effort. The J11 was finished; DEC did not intend to do another PDP11 processor. (I wrote a spec for one, primarily as an exercise in trying to do a different microcode structure than the PLA/ROM of the LSI11/F11/J11, but I lost it.) The

Yes, if the test says that, it must be wrong, since the 11/05 and 11/20 do not do the same thing here. This is documented in the MicroPDP-11 Handbook, for example (http://www.bitsavers.org/pdf/dec/pdp11/handbooks/EB-24944-18_Micro_PDP-11_Handbook_1983-84.pdf, page 379 and forward). Johnny

So the test doc is wrong then, it says valid for 11/05, 20 and 10 (this is the MAINDEC manual dated oct 73) I was running with SET CPU 11/05 Maybe the engineers knew to just ignore that failure, 'don’t worry they all halt there, just hit run, trust me' Ran the same test on 11/20 and it passes

This is a test that tests something which is actually implementation dependent. So you need to run the appropriate test on the appropriate CPU. More specifically: The following processor uses the original content of Rn as source when doing an operation like MOV Rn,(Rn)+ LSI-11, 11/04,
