Paul,
I'm not an 11 expert but don't most instruction fetches (or the last
clock phase on an instruction) cause the pc to increment by one?

Reminds me of the "PDP-11 trivia contest"
that was held at DECUS, I think on the occasion of the 20th anniversary of the PDP-11. If
so that would have been 2000. I still have the poster that went with it somewhere. And I
remember the question I contributed: "On what model and under what circumstances will
the PC increment by 1?"
