Actually, the remote diagnostic panel in the right hands is such a slick
piece of troubleshooting equipment (it can SEE hung bus lines and
everything) I'd love to have one in my 11/70.
Unfortunately, there's no way to run both the blinkin' lights
with the remote panel. I could live with the soft switch register.
There's nothing like the different light patterns of RT11, RSX11, and RSTS.
Wonder if someone could make progressive gifs of 11/70 light patterns
one day.
Love to see a browser interfaced java 11/70 emulator running to a remote
location with full software emulated graphics front panel.

Three things never anger: First, the one who runs your DEC,
The one who does Field Service and the one who signs your check.
