And the 360/25 had all writeable control store.
The control store
was just the top 16 KB of main core memory! To change emulators,
restore from a microprogram crash, etc. you loaded the emulator from
a card deck!
Yes, a neat little machine, not at all like the brain-dead model 20.
Too bad that it came along much later--it would have been fun to fool with.
