[pups] Blinky lights, and E-11

[Gregg C Levine]

Hello again from Gregg C Levine
Looks good. However, I meant to use the printer-port as an I/O port,
as one would use one of the dedicate boards that the original PDP-11
wore. 

Granted, it would be difficult to apply it, but according to a book on
the subject of PC interfacing, it can be done.
