rearranging and/or adding cards in a deck is not the same as
rearranging and/or adding cards in a DEC.
True enough, but I am more likely to _modify_ the M792 than replace it.
Hence the box of 1N4148s... (The M792, I hope, is the diode matrix boot ROM).
FWIW, the following conversation (about me) occured between 2 friends of
mine :
"A mad freind of mien has just got a PDP11"
"How can you call _anyone_ with a PDP11 'mad'?"
"Well, he's a few cards short of a full DEC"
