I must get round to adding that to my RK11C (on my 11/45). I have a
couple of the light panels, off DX11s (IBM channel interfaces). Actually,
I have the DX11s too, but without a System/360 or System/370 to connect
them to (The printset I have details the mods to connect to a 370), I
think it would be a sensible idea to move one of the light panels to the
RK11C.

Of course I don't have the right bezel for this, but that can be kludged,
at least for the mmoent.

It can't take that long to buzz out the connections, surely?
