The Motorola 68000 processor's instruction set is almost a direct rip-off of the PDP11's instruction set. I guess if you have to use switches, better make the machine instruction set as comfortable as possible. ;)
The testing facilities at Trane air conditionings in Tyler, TX still employs one of these things, my dad designed the facility's systems almost 20 years ago. I've seen its pretty cool. I guess if it aint broke don't fix it
oh...I feel old. I sold this stuff. It's museumesque!

Ah, brings back memories in USAF. We used PDP-11/84.

Fine computers at that time.
Very important pioneers for the development of CISC (Complex Instruction Set Computer)
