Häh? What's that "clue-by-four!" ? :-)

...needless to say that the manual for the KDJ11-A means that the jumper
W9 isn't a "halt trap option", it says "W9  Removed   BEVNT Register enabled"

2.2.5 BEVNT Recognition
The LSI-11 bus signal BEVNT provides an external event interrupt request to
the processor. This feature is disabled when the W9 jumper is installed and
disables the line time clock register. When the jumper is removed, the
BEVNT input is recognized and is under control of the line time clock
register.
...

...no, need no fucking manual... :-)
