and for horrible deep level maint. I would imagine they would be
useful....
they look like something too complex to let operations level people
diddle with...
but are these used with exactly WHICH Honeywell system? If we are
going to display them need to tell the right story in the museum.

if you split a 2 x CPU system into 2 x 1 CPU system, or changed the memory
configuration from interleaved to non-interleaved. Pretty sure you could IPL
from the console.
