Well then what use would this be to a hobbyist other than the obvious hollow
it out and stick a PC MB in it and create some Sim pdp11 thing ??
Not having the LTC (BEVENT) signal isn't a gotcha if you're running a
system that doesn't need a real time clock (hard realtime systems
wouldn't do timeslicing, for example, and RT-11 can run without an LTC)
or if you use something like a Falcon/Falcon-Plus/SBC-11 processor which
has an on-board clock, or include a KWV11 or KPV11.
