I find it odd that people want to have a lights-and-switches panel, but are prepared to
totally
adulterate the hardware of the machine that drives it.
Are you honestly suggesting that I should rebuild a PDP-11/70
from things I have in my partsbin? 'cause that is what it sounds like.
No, not really. If you have a front panel from an otherwise non-existant machine then
it makes sense to drive it any way you can. I was thinking more of the PDP12 that started
this.
