be easy to fix. The over-the-top connectors prevent the
use of an extender card, so I can't probe anything easily.
A general comment. When I don't have the right extender, or in cases like
this when you can't use one, what I generally do is solder some wires to
useful points on the board, put the board back in, and probe the free
ends of the wires. Don't try this on fast stuff, but for the 8/e it
should be fine.

I did some tests with the various EAE instructions and it seems that
when the main timing generator is stopped, either the EAE timing
generator does not start or it does not restart the main timing
generator. Any instruction that hands off control seems to hang the
processor.
