SQ703/6 conversion and a little fun

[Nigel Johnson Ham]

Thanks, you have given me hope. While the model # stickers have worn
off, there is a serial number that seems to be like 703AQ1570, and the
board has a revision K.

I'll report back when I have gone through all the gyrations to test it
on the LSI-11

cheers,

Nigel
