So unless you have docs
for what bit 57 of a format-7 microcode control word for a T6500 processor does,
you will almost certainly just lock the damned thing up and require a power

You see, wire telegraph is a kind of a very, very long cat.  You
pull his tail in New York and his head is meowing in Los Angeles.
Do you understand this?  And radio operates exactly the same way:
you send signals here, they receive them there.  The only
difference is that there is no cat.                - Albert Einstein
