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.
