I got caught by that exact same thing a few months ago, and once again it
was Tony who reminded me of what I once knew: the 9302 makes it hang if the
grant chain is broken. I was tidying up an 11/34 which I was trading to a
friend, moved some boards, forgot an NPR jumper, and spent two days trying
to figure out why the RUN light came on and I couldn't HALT the CPU.
