It had something to do with the use of a PDP-11/40 as the console
front-end processor
(equivalent to a "service processor" in IBM terminology), but unfortunately I no
longer remember the details of either my question or his answer. I
seem to recall that
neither the question nor answer were anything terribly significant.
On the other
hand, if anyone did have any good questions about the logic design of the KL10
CPU, I could ask him.

I'll ask him.
