"There was hardware and software for exception handling that predated the
360."
Yes indeed, the KDF9 had a particularly nice interrupt system. You could
issue a tape read to a block of memory. There was no end of transfer
interrupt BUT if you attempted to read from the block of memory before
the transfer was complete THEN you got an interrupt. This is a nicer
arrangement than we see in current day hardware!
