How does your setup differ form the 1052 keyboard? I know that uses a modified 024 keyboard, so interposers. Under DOS/360, a user program could write a CCW string to ring the 1052 bell. If that CCW string included a TIC back to the bell-ring CCW, the bell would just keep ringing with the keyboard locked out. Fun and games, from very many years ago. --Chuck
