And for a bonus point, which signal description had an asterisk beside
it with a footnote, "add an extra 20 minutes on Saturday night" before

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?"
