It was a "soft" front pannel where the switches interacted with a limited
amount of rom like the altair 8800B. The Heath H8 and several others did
nearly the same thing but used an octal keypad.

If you're suggesting that the breakpoint capability of the DPS-1
front-panel was merely something that tickled a ROM monitor and told it to
