UNIX continues!

Our 780, fortunately, has never exhibited any such behaviour.  Our old
11/45, however, used to halt because of bus problems.  Continuing it
was invariably a bad idea, because it halted instead of executing some
instruction that it failed to fetch properly.

Since your 780 was running when you halted it, it would seem that what
you did shouldn't have had any effect at all.  What does halting and
continuing do to the hardware state of the machine that DEC hasn't told
us?
