Having spent innumerable hours bitswitching in boot loaders, those
"weren't the good old days"

BTW, you didn't bit switch in any boot loader.  You were probably
setting the address bits to 7300 octal (yes, octal!) then hitting
"Examine" and pressing "Run" (aiming the processor at the boot PROM
address and firing it up).  For you old PDP-11 freaks, the address was
177300 octal.  Remember ODT: "177300G" to boot?

Yes, I fart dust!
