I didn't mean to imply anythimg like that either. I was just
confirming that my KM11-a-like and a real one will behave the same
way, so if my version can't be used in pairs in an11/05, then the real
one can't either.. I've been involved with classic computers for long
enough to know that sometimes clones are not exactly identical to the
real thing.

I do have a pair of real KM11s now. Each is a pair of boards that plug
together. The board that goes into the machine's backplane is discrete
transistor lamp drivers, the one that plugs into it (and thus sticks
out of the cardcage) contains the lamps, switches and ICs for the
switch circuitry. I know where they are if you want me to confirm the
IC numbers or whatever.
