Nice!!
One handy test on '45 is to put the data display knob to bus address; if the
microcode is still running in the control panel idle loop (halt switch down or
fault) the data lights will follow along with the toggles. This is a super
quick way to tell if the microcode is still running or if it is wedged.
(The '45 and '70 microcode seem quite similar, so your '70 might have the same
feature? I haven't looked at the flow diagrams yet to know for sure.)
