Does anybody know what system is referenced in the
Jargon File under HCF
as the one that could burn up its bus lines if the processor were given
the HCF instruction?
I've tried the HCF instruction on my 6502-based heathkit electronics
trainer (ET-????) It was neat to watch the address lines increment
and wrap... But although I ran it for a long time, it didn't
catch fire...

That's probably because it was a 6800 trainer (ET-3400). All of the 6502
trainers went up in flames before they left the factory.
